Leviticus 12 – The first baby dedications

“When the days of [a new mother's] purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.”

I’d think a lamb and a pigeon would be the least of what we could give to thank God for the blessing of our children.

How do we thank God when we are greatly blessed? Do we just say thank you? Do we do something? Perhaps we need to more consistently put our thanks into actions.
