Last night was Elliott's dedication at church. Dedicating him is a way of showing outwardly our commitment to raise him in church, teach him about Jesus, and guide him spiritually as he grows. We acknowledge that Elliott is a child of God, entrusted to us during our time on Earth. We desire to be faithful to fulfill our calling as Christian parents. Our church and family also committed to pray for us as we parent Elliott, and pray that Elliott would one day come to know Jesus as his Savior and Lord.
It was a very special day for our family. We had 20 family members and friends who came to see Elliott dedicated. We feel so thankful that he has so many who love and care for him, and who will be praying for his salvation as he grows.
After the service we celebrated with coffee and dessert at our house, including a time of prayer for Elliott. It was truly a joyous occasion.
