William's Dedication

“Let the little children come to me.”

Mark 10:14

On Friday, July 2, we gathered with our family at Annie and Poppy's home for William's Dedication. It was a special day, shared with Annie and Poppy, Mamere and Papere, Aunt G, Bart Smalley and his mother Anne, the Freemans, the Schwarzkopfs and the Fedors. We were honored to have Virginia Monroe of The Church of the Good Shephered preside over the Thankgiving and Dedication, just as she did in April 2006 when Thompson was dedicated.

“Train a child in the way he should go,

and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

With the Schwarzkopf family present, our dear friend Jill (owner of Realities Photography) put her camera to work and captured the essence of the day - from the sweetness of the dedication, to the fellowship with family, to one tired baby...and all the moments in between.

“Love the LORD your God with all your heart

and with all your soul and with all your strength.

These commandments that I give you today are to

be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children.

Talk about them when you sit at home and

when you walk along the road, when you lie down

and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands

and bind them on your foreheads. Write them

on then doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”

Deuteronomy 6:5-9
