Hope Deliverance (Gabrielle)
April 13, 2009 by sharppointythings
I’m sitting in a rocking chair in a darkened room near a newly installed pellet stove that’s pumping out warmth and warm light. Around me are three children listening at I explain to them the meanings of their names. I explain that names are for us to remember. To remember what their parents wanted for them. To remember someone from their parent’s pasts who were vital and Godly. To remember what we’re here for and why we fight.
In my arms I’m holding a newborn baby. She was born early this morning and is all round chubs and pink skin. And her name is Hope. Hope Deliverance Ben-Ezra.
Welcome to our dark world, my dear. May you bring hope with you wherever you go.
Yay! Congratulations!
I skipped this post initially, thinking that you were writing about some Christian singing group. lol.
So when I read the next post, it all seemed cryptic to me until I puzzled it out.
Congratulations, auntie. And to you all!
I love names. And this is why. Good post, Gabrielle.
