And He took the children in His arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.
On June 5th the Johnson family celebrated the Dedication of Andrew at the Cadet Chapel at West Point. It was a very special time that we got to share with Dan's brother Aaron and his lovely family, and Meme and Pepe Audette. Here are some photographs and memories of the day.
Dan's brother Aaron and wife Kimberly came to visit us all the way from California...with cousin Linnea Joy! We are so grateful for their visit.
Chaplain Mike Durham led the Dedication. He has such a strong and calming presence - we have truly enjoyed his sermons and his example this year. This was his prayer of dedication,
Father in Heaven, giver of every good and perfect gift, we humbly thank you for the gift of this precious child. We ask your abundant blessings upon him and his parents. Grant a special joy to overflow in their heart this day - for you have honored their faith and answered their prayer. So Lord, we dedicate this child, Andrew Locke Johnson, the precious son of Dan and Corry, to You - even as they dedicate themselves to be the parents he will need all the days of his life. Grant him we pray, an abundant life willed with wonder, joy, hope, opportunities and love. May he come to his own personal faith in You Lord - the faith he will see lived out daily in his parent's lives. Grant his home to know your abundant blessings, protection and prosperity. May it ever be a home dedicated to you - where the voice of prayer is raised daily - as Dan and Corry seek your guidance - and where the Lord shall ever be welcomed and present. Amen.
