Caden's Dedication
Many Christian churches practice baby dedications as opposed to baby baptisms. Katy and Ryan opted to participate in this special ceremony at our church (Discovery) last weekend, promising to love and cherish their little one Caden along his journey with Christ. Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way, prayerfully until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God. Parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise the child in the ways of God, and not according to their own ways. Some of the responsibilities include teaching and training the child in God's Word, demonstrating an example of godliness, disciplining according to God's ways, and praying earnestly for the child. My amazing cousins dedicated their oldest, Gavin, several years ago, and this was Caden's turn. I was so thankful to be a part of this special day with them.
