Well I know I promised a Rupert and Thomas movie extravaganza but alas we have not tried it yet... however I do have something better :D Two Sundays ago we had Rupert dedicated at our Church. I'm so glad that we waited until we got over here to have him dedicated. It just feels right now that we have a home church where we will be for, Lord willing, a long time to come. I loved being able to come in front of the church and say that yes Rupert belongs to the Lord and that we are going to raise him in a home where he knows the love of Christ and will be given every opportunity to know HIM and we pray that one day Rupert will choose to follow the Lord for himself. And I was also so blessed to have the Church in response pray for us as parents and for Rupert and commit to being a part of our lives as we raise him.
Pastor Ryan lead us in scripture, responsive readings and prayer. I so appreciated the way he incorporated us as families and the church as our bigger family.
The verse he chose for Rupert was Psalm 145:18-19.
"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them."
As a mother I am both excited and nervous to see what plans God has for our little boy! But whatever they are I know that He will be with him and I am thankful for His promises!
Awesome Sarah! So glad you have a great church home. Excited to walk with you as Rupert grows!
