Musings on a baby dedication service

Open Letter to Martha, Lloyd, Ruby and Ed:

You are not likely to be watching or listening.

If heavenly ways follow the pattern you followed in life on earth,

Lloyd is in the woods,

Martha in the kitchen,

Ruby in the garden,

and Ed in the library.

There may be no window looking out on us four, where you are. But I NEED to say -

LOOK and SEE!

The baby girls you stood with in dedication to the Lord, stand now before you and before all the great host of witnesses!

They are grown!

They are faithful!

They carry on, beyond any dream you or I could have dreamt for them.

I wish we could all have a party and celebrate.
