NAMES

JASMINE ELIZABETH SAVOCA BENNETT

She now has a beautiful name to match her personality. The whole family has been caught up in chosing a name for our new baby girl. It has made me more aware of how important a name is.
Everyone, everything, every plant, every insect, every star every object in this universe has had to be named. Even God, whose name was so holy, it could not be pronounced had a name.
Christians are named after Christ whose name Jesus was chosen and given to him before he was born. So we have our Christian names and our family names and we become known by this name.

Jesus boldly decares that even giving a cup of cold water in his name brings honor to his name.
The angels smile upon each one of us and all of heaven knows us by name.

It was funny on Heartbeat a lady who looked like Judy Garland and had the name of Judy was mistaken for her and when asked to sing had to confess she could not sing a note. She then realized why everyone was making a fuss over her mistaking her for another Judy.

I appreciate the thought and time that was given to choosing the name of Jasmine.
