Whew! April showers bring May flowers, historically. We can only hope for this joy! Speaking of joy, this morning in church baby Ellie was dedicated to God by her family. In some denominations, infant baptism is practiced, however, as Jesus was dedicated to God by his parents a week after his birth (Luke 2:21-40), churches often "dedicate" babies. This is not a part nor an act of salvation, it is simply a family's promise to God to raise their child in love and obedience to God. It is a simple and beautiful prayer.
