THE BLESSINGS OF THANKSGIVING AND CHILD DEDICATION

Psalm 67:5-7

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.l of his Son;

Thanksgiving is the expression of gratitude for what God has done and what we believe he can do.

Children's dedication is a covenant practice where parents express gratitude to God for the gift of their children and publicly commit to raising them in a godly environment. Prov 22:6. The covenant practice acknowledges that the child belongs to God and seeks his guidance and blessings over the child's life. Luke 2:22, Lev 12:2-8.

Thanksgiving and dedication are foundational spiritual practices that transform your life.
