On Sunday, October 10th, 2010 we publicly dedicated Sawyer to the Lord. I would like to think we dedicated Sawyer to the Lord before he was even born, but this was our opportunity to dedicate him publicly in front of our church body.
It's a great reminder that he belongs to the Lord. The Lord has entrusted Kyle and me to raise Sawyer and it is our prayer that he will come to know the Lord and live a life that is full of love, praise, service, and joy for Jesus Christ.
Here are some of the verses I will pray for Sawyer now and as he grows (feel free to pray them along with me):
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way... Colossians 1: 9-10
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. 1 Peter 4: 8-11
And while we attend the church service this is how Sawyer rolls in the nursery.
