Bryson's Dedication




Well, Bryson is officially six months old. Can you believe it? Today was his baby dedication at South Georgia Baptist where Chris is the youth pastor. When the pastor called for Bryson's family to come up to the front for his dedication, you should have see the surprised look on his face when he saw the crowd. I thought he knew that Chris' family is a large Italian family and our family is a clan. There were about twenty nine in our group! After the pastor called us up to the front, he gave Courtney and Chris a letter from him to Bryson to keep until the time he makes the decision to ask Christ into his life and a Bible. Next he told all of the family that it was our job and responsibility to guide Bryson, instruct him and pray for him, that he would ultimately become a follower of Christ. Of course I cried, but Bryson was a champion and smiled through the whole service. Here are some pictures I took for those of you that could not be there.













This was most of the family that went down to the front for the blessing.














All the family gathered around to lay hands on Bryson, Chris and Courtney to pray for them.














After church, mother suggested I take a four generation picture of Bryson, Chris, his dad Jerry, and his grandpa.













All in all it was a wonderful day.
