“A baby is God’s opinion that life should go
on.” Carl Sandburg
Our
family is celebrating this week now that Baby Amy has joined the clan. Twelve days late, a day in labor, and a rough
delivery, her mom and dad are joyful that the suffering is behind them and their bundle of love is safely in their arms.
Susanna
calls her Baby Button. We call Susanna “Sookie.” Sookie calls me “Groggy.” Nicknames are fun! Most importantly, this baby is called a child of
God. The best name!
Her
parents named her Amy which means “beloved.”
In Song of Solomon, 6:3, it says “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is
mine; he feeds among the lilies.” Amy Brooke is named after her two aunties, Amy and Brooke. Here is the royal announcement:
I
close with these words taken from Holy Scriptures and I am praying them over
our family’s new baby:
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. Psalm 8:2
Our grand baby is a gift from the Lord; she is a reward from Him. Psalm 127:3
You made all the delicate, inner parts of our grand baby’s body and knit her together in her mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13
I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5
JOY! JOY! JOY! I am so thrilled for all of you, the name is beautiful, although I kind of like Sookie's version... 'Button'... :)

ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Many congratulations and blessings on the birth of Amy! Babies are just the best, aren't they? Especially our grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that the labor was so hard. but I know that my Mom would say that after the labor, you forget it all, staring into the face of your new love.
