Class Scripture Passage: Psalm 107
My dear, brave husband -- thick accent and all (but God's Word will always have free reign) -- shared the verses below during the Parents' Service of Blessing and Dedication:
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:11,12
