Dedication

It was such a special night.  Pastor Mander spoke on Nathanael in the book of John.  He knew who Jesus was in chapter 3 and Jesus said he was without deceit.  In the end of John, Nathanael is seen as still faithful.  He wove in a good gospel message about receiving God's gift of salvation as there were several there who were not saved.
Jordan shared out of Samuel how Hannah prayed for a child and God gave one to her.  He broke at that point with gratefulness for God giving them a child.  He sang a hymn about giving your child to the Lord.  Then he said how they intended to have a godly home and how grateful he was for both his and |Naomi's godly heritage.  He was emotional at that time too.  It was a powerful time for all those who could hear.  He then sang Happy the Home. 
Jordan and Naomi are amazingly natural parents.  Now that I see them in that role, I can't imagine them not having a child.  They work together and do so well.  It isn't something they do out of duty, but out of calling.
