Baby Dedication

At 19 weeks old, we had your baby dedication. It was a little different because your Daddy preached your dedication and I sang (or attempted to). Your daddy did an amazing job outlining what we need to be as parents to you. We pray that we are examples for you to follow in the Lord and that you know how much we love you. We pray that God uses you and that your love for Him continues to grow and that you have a heart to do things for the Lord as you grow. Your daddy preached out of 1 Samuel which is where we got your name and I sang "For This Child I prayed." You were sooo good throughout the whole service. You watched daddy preach and then you fell asleep. Grandma bought you an all white suit to wear and you looked adorable it in! We had so many of your family come to support you. You are one loved baby!

 

The lyrics out of the song that I sang are some of my favorite. "The eye of faith can only see the promise God has made. This evidence and substance holds when earthly hopes will fade. To watch him grow, the handiwork of God has been displayed. For all those years He heard her tears she says for this child I prayed."

We love you Samuel Lucas Franklin!
