I was thinking about names...We name our kids in hope that they may be influenced by what the name means or the person they are named after. Like Seamus (James) in hopes that he will find a good example in the man James of the Bible. Or Marsha in hopes that she will look to her grandmother and see an example of a good woman. Then there are names that remind us of certain truths. For example Ceana is celtic for God is gracious or Elias means the Lord is my God. And even though my name is spelled different than other Lisa's, it still means consecrated to God, in other words dedicated to God's sacred purpose. Well, if I choose to believe these things are true (which I do) then I am reminded that when I was young my parents dedicated, set aside and gave me back to God for Him to do His good works in and thru me and that now all grown up, I can choose to continue to live in that truth every day.
If that is how you start your day.......remembering who He is, well, then at least your putting your first thoughts in the right direction.
