Today is Wednesday, August 10th, 2005; Karen's Korner #608
Good news! Yesterday our grandson, Luke Champion became a big brother - that's what the shirt he wore to the hospital said!
For the past few weeks, Luke's dad Tim let people know what their new daughter's name could be via their web site, so I will let share what he typed there:
Our front-runner right now is Molly. The middle name will be Joy. Jamie's sister's name was Merry, and we're using a synonym of Merry (as in happy) - Joy. Besides, in our wedding vows, they started with "Tim(or Jamie), you bring me great Joy!" So, we're bringing Joy into the world.
So Molly Joy arrived just before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, August 9! Some people wonder what JOY looks like. Well, I saw Molly Joy yesterday and she is about 6# 4 oz. and is 18 inches long.
It isn't uncommon to name people names found in the Bible! And JOY is find all over the place. So today - the word JOY is the key:
"For the JOY of the Lord is your strength..!"
- Nehemiah 8:10
"....JOY comes in the morning."
- Psalms 30:5
"But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us:
love, JOY, peace, patience, kindness......"
- Galatians 5:22
"Always be full of JOY in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice!"
- Philippians 4:4
