After a one night stay at the Ritz, we zoomed home in the morning and Daddy went to church while Mommy packed and prepared for Baby Sarah's Dedication Service. It was going to be a 3 Day 2 Night Stay at Fairy Point Chalet 7. You probably realized that it is way too early for a first month celebration. Well, mommy took a risk and booked the highly popular chalet 2 months ago hoping that the date would be perfect. Haha...guess not. But Daddy and Mommy decided to go ahead and invite the many people who prayed and showed their concern during the entire pregnancy. And at the same time, we wanted to take this opportunity to give God the glory for all He has done for us through Sarah.

That's Uncle Jeremy capturing the day's events.
It was indeed a beautiful day, a beautiful place and a beautiful service. Did wish I had pictures of all my guests - all of whom were much appreciated. Daddy and his brothers sang this beautiful hymn which summarizes our tribute to God on this special occasion:
Hymn of Grateful Praise
For the beauty of the earth For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,This our hymn of grateful praise.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,Our hymn of praise
For the wonder of each hour,Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,Sun and moon, and stars of light.
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild.
For Thy Church, that evermore lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore Her pure sacrifice of love.
For Thy selfless gift Divine, To our race so freely given,
For Thy great great love of Thine,Peace on earth and joy in Heaven
Lord, accept our hymn of grateful praise!
