Inheritance, Reward, Arrow

Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. — Psalm 127:3

A child is God’s inheritance — in short, God puts the value in the child. As parents, that’s how we should look at our children.

She is God’s reward — children are supposed to bring HONOR to their parents given that the parents will raise their child in the ways of God.

A child is likened to an arrow — from its conception as a branch, it needs to be straightened, smoothed, sharpened, guided and released.

Last Dec 5, we dedicated our daughter Ashley Hope to our Lord Jesus Christ and His plans for her. We decided to keep it an intimate gathering of immediate family and god-parents only held at Vikings, SM North EDSA.

We invited Pastor Cesar once more to lead the dedication ceremony (he also officiated our wedding). Ashley was very attentive during his short sermon about children being God’s inheritance and reward.

Thank you Ninong John, Leo, Paolo, and Niki; Ninang Maila, Catherine, Marj, Boj and Nevs for standing with us in prayer and god parents to Ashley. Thank you for your commitment to continually pray for Ashley and care for her any way you can.

Finally, thank you Mama, Papa, Mommy and Daddy for supporting us all the way to your apo. :D We hope to raise Ashley up just like you raised us up — with lots of love and prayers. :) We love you! :*

Thank you all for coming. We hope you like the giveaways :D Darla, Jan Edward, Catherine and myself made that for you. :)
