Dedication

We went to the dedication of the daughter of a friend of mine tonight.  She is married to a Filipino and it is always interesting to get an insight into different cultural ways of doing things. It was a separate ceremony in a function room with family and friends and, of course, involved a meal.  While we were eating, Rose was bopping along to the music on her chair and another of my friends said it reminded her of someone else!  Who could that be?! 
It is always good to be reminded that our children are God's and not ours.  How blessed we are that God has chosen to give us the privilege of parenting.  And how much it teaches me about my Father God in the process.

Amazing how we often inherit the things our parent think are bad. The key is to ensure that the things we imitate are only the good.
