Dedicating Ezra

Today we dedicated to raise our beautiful son Ezra in the ways of Christ. We stood before our church surrounded by our family and a group of amazing people who have walked through so much with us. We celebrated this life that Christ has blessed us with and took a moment to acknowledge that gift. It was a lovely moment.

 My  heart is very full with thankfulness tonight and there is much I could say but I will let this beautiful poem that my dear friend Jen wrote to Ezra say it for me......

Ezra Bravery-

You are a gift

A gift full of hope and belief

As I snuggle you with your sly sultan grin

You help me to believe, to hope, to dream

I held your mommy in my arms once long before you and thought maybe it was over

And I held a little girl in my arms once and thought it may be over for me too

Through it all our Father held us both, your mom and me

And He holds you, He knit you, He perfectly prepared you

Don't ever forget that, don't ever turn from that truth

That beautiful day I held you and you were here and you were real and you were good.....

That day I stopped, I breathed and I learned more how to believe

So often I long to hold you and breathe that same breath over and over

To keep breathing in that breath of belief, of hope

You'll grow up and you'll get big, but I'll never forget how you've come to be

Amidst a miracle of hope and the bravery of belief  

Jen T.
