Gabriel's Baby Dedication

Gabriel was recently dedicated to the Lord at our church. Why a dedication instead of a baptism? Richard and I believe that a person shouldn't be baptized until he/she commits his/her life to the Lord. Since Gabriel is too young to fully comprehend what that means, we don't baptize him. Instead, we pray over him and ask the Lord to watch over him as he grows. It's our prayer that one day Gabriel will decide to follow Jesus, give his life to the Lord, and be baptized.

Here is a picture that was taken when Richard was introducing the family before he prayed over Gabriel.
