A Parent's Promise to God

As Christians we have quite a job ahead of us as being parents and raising our son to become a Godly man; one who loves the Lord and lives to serve Him. Our first step as Nico's parents was to dedicate our son to God in front of our church congregation. This is our promise to God:

Believing that your child was given to you as a priceless treasure from the Lord, do you dedicate him or her back to the Lord knowing that your child belongs to Him? Also, in acknowledging this, do you dedicate yourselves, as parents, to raise your child according to biblical standards, to do your best always to be a godly example for him or her to observe, and to teach your child about God’s love and grace? Do you agree to those commitments?

On Mother's Day, which was such an appropriate day, Ed and I dedicated Nico to God at church. God gave us Nico and we are giving him back.
