My very first Mother's Day was extra special because it was also Parker's baby dedication at our AWESOME church. Daron and I made a promise to God to raise Parker in a Godly way, prayerfully until he can make his own decision to follow Jesus. We vowed to teach and train Parker in God's word, demonstrate an example of Godliness, discipline him according to God's word and pray earnestly for Parker. My biggest prayer for him is that one day he would call on the name of Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.
Too often I am reminded that Parker is not my own. He belongs first and foremost to God. What a BIG responsibility it is that God has entrusted Parker into Daron and I's care.
I am so blessed! Daron and Parker gave me a bracelet with a beautiful "Mom" charm that I can add to. I had a great first Mother's Day spent with the people I love the most!
"Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on their children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:4-7
