This Mother's day we had the honor of dedicating Maddox to the Lord. It was such a great day and a beautiful gift on my first Mother's day.
Each set of parents read a scripture over their child. Ours is our deepest prayer for our precious baby girl.
"When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your heart as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." -Ephesians 3:14-19
I will never be able to comprehend the love of God, but having a child has made it all the more real that He sent His Son, once a precious baby, to die for my pitiful undeserving self. Amazing love, how can it be?
