The Lord awakened me this morning and brought me to Ephesians. He reminded me that not too long ago we were debating about names for the upcoming arrival of our daughter (who we thought was to be a boy for the first few months) and we loved Mary, being a family name after "Rosemary" and "Mary Isom", Donald's mother. But Mary what?? After much prayer and th0ught the Lord brought me to Ephesians, two years ago, with these words: "Even when we were dead in our transgressions, He made us alive together with Christ, by GRACE you have been saved."2:5 "For by GRACE you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of GOD!" 2:8
And that was it....Mary Grace!
Thank you Father God for our beautiful precious daughter! What a true blessing she is to us and a gift from you. Thank you for her sweet (spunky) spirit, who always makes us laugh. Lord, give us wisdom to grow her in YOUR beauty and have a heart fully devoted to you!
Happy 2nd Birthday Mary Grace! We love you!
