What's In A Name

    Our Bible Curriculum this year covers all of the names for Jesus and their meanings. So during the first week of school, the parents were to write a letter about why we chose our child's name. I decided to do this for my two oldest, and will do this for the other little ones when they get older. Choosing a name is a huge deal to me, so I thought this was a great idea and wanted to make it into something extra special. I found a really cool website, and ordered the boys bracelets with their names and Bible verses engraved on them. The Bible verses went along with their names as I explained in their letters.
     On the day we presented the boys with their letters and bracelets, they were very excited. We did it on a Sunday morning, and they got to wear their bracelets to church.


     Here is Silas' letter.

Here is Camden's letter.

Here are their bracelets.

 This was a really good activity suggested by My Father's World, because it set the stage for the year. It helped the boys to understand how important they are as individuals to God and to us. It also helps them to see that all of the names Jesus is called by have special meanings that show us who He is and what He is able to do.
