VA Vacation - A Moment of Prayer for the Family

While in VA, our family had the privilege of attending my dad's church one Sunday morning. And, lo and behold, during this Sunday morning service, he called us before the church congregation to offer up a prayer of dedication and trust on behalf of Paige and Taylor as well as their little cousin Courtney. While this was a special moment, to be sure, we were certainly not prepared for it...just look at the pictures below...we're all wearing jeans and dressed very, very casual. That's fine, of course, and completely NOT the point because after all God could care less how we looked that Sunday morning or any given day, but a little more of a heads-up would have been nice. I certainly would have at least worn something other than my most casual blue jeans. Ditto for the twins' attire that morning too. (I later informed my dad that out in CA, church attire is pretty casual, hence the blue jeans and t-shirts look...I also told my dad that he was lucky we didn't all show up in shorts which has been known to happen in CA where we attend church...ha, ha, ha)

On a related note, unfortunately, as you'll see from the pictures below both the fathers are missing from the pictures - Mike (Paige and Taylor's dad) had already returned to California and Greg (Courtney's dad) has a crazy work schedule preventing him from attending this service as well. In spite of the impromptu aspect to all of this, the prayer for the children was very nice nonetheless!


P.S. The twins had already been dedicated unto the Lord more than a year ago at our home church in CA, but what's the harm in one more prayer of dedication, right?!
