Yesterday morning, Josie and Kelton Balka brought Willow before their church, Clear Springs Baptist, to be dedicated to the Lord. Some of Josie and Kelton's family members came to celebrate the occasion. Willow is 10 weeks old.

Awww- Very sweet. Looks like her Daddy- :o)
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your families what a blessing Willow is to the family......
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think she looks like her daddy?
ReplyDeleteShe is so much like her dad now more than before,when she was born you could tell the resemblence but we thought as she grows we would see a little of her mum too,but it's obvious now she's the spitting image of her dad,he must have looked just like that wjen he was a baby.
DeleteShe is definitely Daddy's Little girl.
DeleteAwww! She's so cute!
ReplyDeleteWillow looks just like her daddy!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteShe's adorable!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so over it 😂
ReplyDeleteVery funny, 4:03. She is beautiful, but she really does look like she is totally over it.
DeleteLOVE that picture!! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like an infant baptismal out fit to me.
ReplyDeleteIs dedication the same as what we do in the Catholic Church (Christening)?
ReplyDeleteIt’s pretty much the same idea, welcoming the baby into the church. But I don’t think Christians do godfathers like Catholics do
DeleteA baby dedication in a Baptist Church is more of the parents dedicating themselves to raise their children up in the ways of God and to teach them about God. The parents bring their child to the preacher and he prays over the family, that God would bless them and guide the parents in training their children.
DeleteAnon.@2:58-Catholics are Christians, too.
DeleteCongratulations on your daughter's dedication. All my daughters were dedicated and it's such a special way to honor the Lord.
ReplyDeletePrecious ❤️. ~Tracy~
ReplyDeleteShe has her daddy’s mouth/ lips.
ReplyDeleteSooooo adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLooks just like Kelton!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Can anyone explain to me what a baby dedication is so I can pretend to stop knowing what it is haha?
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! Love this picture...like someone woke her from a nap.ALL CHICKEN ARE A GIFT FROM GOD 💖🤗
ReplyDelete*children, not chicken lol. Although chicken is a pretty nice gift from God too, lol
DeleteChicken?
DeleteAll chicken are a gift from God? (Laugh) must be an auto correct mistake.
DeleteSide note: where’s the post about Katie’s new friend? Been waiting.

DeleteMO- SO FUNNY!! It was a typo that could have happened to anyone- Or the computer changed the word without the writer's knowledge; that has happened to most of us! Thanks for the good laugh. :o)
DeleteI love chicken, and while I’ve prayed over them on my plate, I’ve never considered what a gift from God they are. I bet the Sander’s family has though. 11:29 - best response!
Delete@9:32- I think any news that Kaite wishes to share should be on her timetable, not fans.
DeleteBeautiful. Willow looks just like her dad.

What exactly is a baby dedication?🤔
ReplyDeleteCHICKEN?
ReplyDeleteA baby dedication is when you present your baby (with parents and grandparents and other family for support) infront of the church congregation. It's a public declaration (standing on stage wth the pastor) saying you are giving this child back to God (as this is GOd's child to begin with) and your promising to raise your child in church and to teach them according to what the Bible says. The pastor and the congregation usually usually prays over the child and parents and sometimes receive a Bible.

ReplyDeleteLoL. i think you meant children ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting only some family came. I would have expected everyone to come (since they don't do infant baptism)
ReplyDeleteYes they do infant baptism still. At my church they do infant baptism.
