...and He blessed them

mark 10:16 is a beautiful passage of scripture

"and he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them"

what a gift to be part of a church that practices the blessings of Christ

on Sunday, our pastors stood in the place of Jesus and laid their hands on sparkle, speaking goodness over and into her life as we promised to raise her up in the truth 

i can't tell you what a treasure it is to belong to a group of people that is committed to helping us grow these girls

how many of them have prayed for us?

how often have they rejoiced with us?

how many blessings have we received as a result of this family?

we'll never know.

but one thing we do know is that we need them

we rely on them

we cherish them

so, it is with great joy that we dedicate you, Sparkle Girl

to the Lord

and to His family

you are a beautiful part of His lovely Bride
