We dedicated Timothy today at church. Gramma and Grandpa Murphy flew in from California to be here for Timothy's special day. We dedicated Timothy to the Lord, that as his parents we are going to raise him to know Jesus and prayerfully one day he accepts Christ as his Savior.
Each family got to speak for about thirty seconds. Josh shared with the congregation that we named Timothy after his two grandfathers and that his name means honoring God and that is our prayer for his life. The verse we chose for Timothy is 1 Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
I wasn't sure how Timmy would do because he woke up early and wanted to go down for a nap before we even left for church. Since he didn't get a nap he was a little grumpy up on stage but when he saw his Uncle Jon on stage with us he waived at him and seemed to be in a better mood. Grandpa took these pictures for us and Auntie April took a video.
The three of us wore matching converse :)
So special to have Gramma and Grandpa here with us!
Jon and April are part of our family. We love them very much! We are so sad that they will be moving but they will always be part of our life!
Timothy was dedicated with his good friend Asher. God has blessed us with wonderful friends!
Timmy's little girl friend Emily :) She was dedicated in the second service.
We love you Timothy James!
Love it!
