Sunday is Baby Dedication day at our church. Charlie will be prayed over and blessed by the congregation. It will be a wonderful day in the life of our child. He may not understand what is happening, but I am sure that he will enjoy all of the attention that he will receive.
As we raise our child and dedicate his life to Christ and ask for his blessing over Charlie I hope that I can hold up my end of the deal to raise him as a Godly man. I hope that he understands the power of prayer and uses it to get through any troubles that may arise in his life. I hope that he learns that with God, anything is possible. I have been praying that Charlie's teeth will come in so that we can get through this rough patch of decreased sleeping and increased fussiness.
I hope that Charlie looks up to me and that I set the proper example for him to be a good person. I am sure that there will be times that he will be a smart a** know it all, but that comes with every teen boy. I just hope that throughout his life he remembers the little lessons that will be taught. How to love and respect others, using his manners like a gentleman and how to find a rich wife to take care of him.
Fatherhood so far has been a blast. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I could go for about 4 or 5 more children. I hear that boys are pretty easy, but girls on the other hand...sheesh! I am almost afraid to imagine the terror that they bring when they are 13 going on 30. I would still like to have a "Daddy's Girl". Charlie has been pretty easy and I hope that he stays that way. Hopefully he is not like I was when I was in my teens. I am surprised that I am still alive from all of the sarcastic remarks I made and the attitude that I carried.
I will do my best to make sure that Charlie is very polite, chivalrous, respectful and loving. I hope that he is honorable and full of integrity. I pray that he does great things in his life and one day becomes President of the United States.
As we dedicate and bless Charlie on Sunday I will be praying for the wisdom to guide him in the right direction that will give him the best opportunity to do anything that he wants in his life. Hopefully he goes pro in the NFL and Daddy can get some season tickets!
