Remington's Blessing Before The Church

Proverbs 22:6 tells us to "train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."  It is our prayer that all parents, but especially our own children, listen to this encouraging admonition.  When we make a concerted effort to set good examples for our children, lead by example and expect the best from them, chances are far better that we will get the outcome that God expects.

The Southern  Hills church of Christ in Abilene periodically will start their morning services with a dedication or a blessing of young children born during the time since the last blessing.  Jordan and Ashley brought Remington before their church August 2 to ask the church family to pray for him and pledge their support as they bring him up in the Lord.

We enjoyed lunch with Ashley's parents afterwards and were entertained by Leighton.  She insisted that we all dress up in some of her play clothes complete with princess crown and flowers in our hair.  She is a funny little girl.  I think we sat at the table a good part of the afternoon just visiting.

We were quite a collection of rabbits, princesses and clowns!

Donald and Glenna, love that red hair!  Anything for a grandchild!
