Kayla Joy Dedicated to the Lord

I had the privilege this last Sunday of dedicating little Kayla Joy to the Lord. It was very unusual in many ways. First it was done in an international church in Skopje, Macedonia. Secondly, the church meets in a Gymnasium of a local private school. Thirdly, the dedication was attended by 15 students of the English Partners English language school - Friends of Rachelle and Joshua Neal, the parents. But in other ways it was very much the same as the day Jesus scolded the disciples for hindering the children from coming to Him. On that day Mark writes Jesus took the children in His arms and blessed them. Kayla Joy - her name means "pure joy" belongs to the Lord and He has a great plan for her life. Her parents and the congregation committed themselves to pray for her and love her so that she will early in life choose Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
