Kaylee’s Dedication to The Lord Jesus Christ

 

On March 7th, 2010 Jon and I dedicated ourselves to raising Kaylee in the Lord. My mom made a BEAUTIFUL dress. I am not kidding. It is stunning.  We chose  the verse Deuteronomy 6:7 for us: (Here is 5-7 though)

(5) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. (6) These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. (7) Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

And 2 Timothy 3:14-15 for Kaylee:

(14) But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, (15)and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Our hope and prayer is to raise a little girl with the help of the Lord to become a Jesus and Bible loving adult. That she would one day serve God with great zeal and live a fruitful life.

After the service, our family and friends came to our house to eat hamburgers and celebrate Kaylee’s life and the Lord! We used an idea from a shower I’d been to to bathe Kaylee in scripture led prayer. What a blessing! I am so thankful to everyone who was there and supported and continue to support us in this area of life.

This is on the bottom of the slip. It says: “ Kaylee Marie Klepper Dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ  March 7th, 2010 Woodland Park Baptist Chruch.”  We are planning on using this for any future baby girls too and adding their dedication information to the bottom too!

Today I found this bracelet my Aunt Laniey gave Kaylee in the bottom of the bag she brought with a bible with her name on it! Kaylee loved it!
