Thank you all for your prayers for our new boy Samuel and for our family. We are blessed to have him and he is blessed to have you as a church family. We look forward to bringing him to worship in a few weeks. Thank you also for the cards, phone calls, emails, meals, kind words expressed. We have been so loved through it all by you.
Bethany and I have been particularly moved by the words that have been said or written to us on the occasion of Samuel’s birth. Many of these have come by way of email or card from friends and family. We’ve been touched by these words of grace and truth and I want to share some of them anonymously with you here.
“New life is God’s opinion that our world is good. Congratulations!”
“Welcome to the world Samuel!”
“This is the first congratulations from Cote d’Ivoire (Africa). Welcome Samuel Fuller to the world. God bless your family now and in the future. – Sent from a pastor friend traveling on a mission trip.
“What a joy and blessing! The world is a better place because Samuel is here.”
“Hail the day that Samuel Fuller Williams entered the world – the newest sign of God’s love and promise towards creation.”
I agree with all of these of course! These words of grace are true for Samuel and they are equally true for each new child, each new life born into God’s world. Every life is sacred and holy.
Bethany and I are going to print these off and put them in Samuel’s baby book. I think I’m going to start passing these words on to others when they have children. They touched me so much and I hope they do you.
