Tim, Nathan and Susan - Dedication Day
We dedicated our son on Sunday, November 30th. In choosing this day, we considered it the perfect weekend being that it followed Thanksgiving and we are oh so thankful for our abundant little blessing. I began envisioning this day months ago, so afraid I would be choking back tears at the significance of it all, the miracle it has been.
In our church, this day is celebrated by a video being shown. My husband did a fabulous job making the video. We chose pictures as well as the songs together (Trust by Sixpence and Beautiful Boy by Ben Harper). And as I had thought, I was choking back tears, watching my little guy’s face fill a huge screen, his birth parents staring back at me. The whole experience hit me anew. How amazing! What a blessing!
And so we dedicated him, promising to do all we can to lead him to the Lord, be an example. We know that he is truly a gift. We are honored to the have the privilege of raising Nathan.
