Right now, we have a boy’s name in mind that is two syllables and five letters long. The girl’s name is two syllables and three letters long. We’re pretty simple like that.

Thanks for the comment, Geehoym!

Your Friend,

p.s. I am not presuming your child is male; I’m just avoiding calling him “it”.

Thank you very much!

Wayne,

Amen and amen. I couldn’t agree more. I was thinking about how the sheep know the voice of their shepherd and follow where he leads. I was thinking about how I have been called to shepherd my children and lead my family in righteousness. And ultimately, I have been thinking and praying that my children would hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow Him all the days of their lives.

Thanks Wayne and Susan for the wonderful encouragement!

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, ESV)

The point is, that takes time; lots of it, so set all of your secondary plans aside and make your children a conscience priority. Never forget you will give an account some day for the way you have used your talents. Live your faith before your children, with your children.

The other thing I would say is pray, sing, and read scripture ALOUD beginning now, and never quit so long as you both have breath.

Blessings to you both,
Wayne & Suzan Hatcher

I hate to take away from Timmy’s post, but my dad gave me a book, that I would recommend to Stephen and anyone who has felt that loss. It’s called, “I’ll Hold You in Heaven” by Jack Hayford. Ok I’m done now, I promise.
