In Psalm 8, David seeks to give unto God the glory due to his name. “How majestic is Your name in all the earth!” How bright this glory shines even in this lower world! But how much brighter it shines in the upper world! We, on this earth, only hear God's excellent name, and we praise that. The angels and blessed spirits above can see his glory, and they praise that. Yet he is exalted far above even their blessing and praise.
The grace of God appears wonderfully in small children. How amazing that the most frail and delicate little thing can reflect God’s glory in such an enormous way! Verse 2 states, “from the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise.” And as Shea and I sit and watch his tiny lips move about as he makes all of his funny little expressions, there is no other response but to praise our God and give glory to His name.
We couldn’t be more thankful for this precious gift in our lives.

Abram, since we are your granparents, we think you are absolutely beautiful! We have been praying for you these last nine months, and we will continue as you grow each day.
