Blessings....


Today we thanked God for this amazing life that He has allowed us to have in our lives. I don't believe it was an accident that we have Elliot in our family, God created her and placed her on this earth to be a blessing to others. He chose us to get to be her parents...how lucky we are.


The baby dedication was at the College Church. Lois Blackwelder is a dear friend of our family and we were honored to have her perform the baby dedication. She was a substitute teacher through out my grade school years and I have been friends with her daughter since third grade. She also performed my brother Erik and his wife Carlie's wedding ceremony.


My prayer for you Elliot is this: That God is always near you and that you always long to be near God. That you find your way in this world by seeking Him. We may hold your hand for a spell, but hold tight always to his.
