FAMILY NAMES

 FAMILY NAMES

Psalm 23:1-6 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

  There are many others in the same situation as my sisters and I. Because our father never had a son, his family name died out with him, but I still need to live in such a way as to honor his name although I no longer bear that name.

  We Christians bear the name of Christ our Savior and we should live in such a way that brings honor and glory to His precious name.
