Juliet's CeCe, Pops and Aunt Kama gave her an apple tree. At two weeks old, the tree was planted in Juliet's honor in our front yard with both sets of grandparents, 'Aint' Leigh and her great grandparents in attendance! It was beautiful ceremony. Justin began by sharing a few thoughts from Scripture and prayed for guidance in raising Juliet. Both grandfathers and Juliet's grand grandfather also shared thoughts from Scripture and lifted up prayers on Juliet's behalf. It was really neat to hear what each grandfather wishes for his granddaughter. Pops (Justin's dad) relayed to us the blessing that children are to their families, especially Juliet to ours, and her life of service to God be a blessing to others. Granddaddy (my Dad) directed our thoughts to the responsibility our family shares in raising Juliet in the Lord and that the fruit she produces will be good fruit. Papa (my grandfather) talked about the great promise a tree has in bearing much fruit and his prayer that with the proper nourishment, Juliet will also bear much fruit for the Lord.

What a special thing to do. Juliet is so blessed to have two parents who are so godly and have her best spiritual interest in mind!
How special! And you get to have apples later, too! :-)
This is great! I love it!
