Asher's Dedication

For me, Asher's dedication was one to remember. During the usual morning greetings after the worship segment, the speaker for the day - Matthew Lo - shook Asher's hand, and after that Asher kept waving at him. Matthew said, "He's very friendly ya". Asher was in a very good mood that day, and because of that we had a really funny dedication session.



He can't stop grinning while waiting for the dedication to start :)








We parents were given a slip of paper on which was printed a paragraph that Matthew was going to read out. It was basically a promise that parents were supposed to agree to regarding raising our children in the Lord, and after Matthew read the paragraph we were supposed to say, "we do".

Before he start reading the paragraph, Asher took the paper and started waving it around. Matthew saw Asher and said into the mike, "Yeah, you're eager huh? Waving your dedication about!", much to the amusement of the congregation.

After Matthew had read the paragraph and in the split second pause before the parents were supposed to say "we do", Asher said loud and clear, "Aye", which got the congregation all tickled :)

When the parents finally said "we do" and were walking back to our seats, Asher started to babble again and wave excitedly about. Then Matthew said, "this one, can be pastor!" :o)

Asher! Is that your destiny? Haha, who knows! But I sure did enjoy myself on his dedication day!
