Piper's Day




Today we had Piper Dedicated. She looked so sweet in the dress that her Great, Great, Great grandmother made for my mom when she got dedicated. The following is a prayer Mike wrote for her.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for Piper Corean, the little surprise that brightened up our life. We call her our little rainbow because she reminds us of how amazing you are and how quickly life can change. One minute there is nothing, and the next there is a beautiful display of color and light stretching across the sky. Piper adds so much to all of our lives, and we cannot imagine a day without her.

We come before you to promise we will raise her to know you and put her faith in you. We ask for your guidance as we raise Piper in a home that is centered on your love. We will teach her to praise you for all the good things in her life, and to lean on you through the trials that come. She is such a sweet and innocent girl; we pray that she will remain this way throughout her life.

We promise to love Piper as you love us, and to teach her about the gift you gave us through Jesus, your only Son. Please keep us patient as she learns, and open her heart for the love you have for her. We love you and thank you for all the blessings in our life, today is the day we dedicate Piper Corean to you.

Amen

Genesis 9:16

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
