Jesus was blessed as an infant on his 8th day of life, and Faith received a blessing today on her 8th day as well! Our dear friends John & Jena (John is a elder/shepherd at our congregation) came over today to read God's Word to Faith, and also to offer a prayer of blessing for her. It was an unforgettable moment, and a blessing to Faith's mom & dad that words cannot express. I can NOT believe Faith is ONE WEEK OLD today! God is so FAITHful.

Faith is so sweet and beautiful. It is a blessing to have shepherds who are eager to bless us with the Word of God. We have received so many encouraging words from our elders, too. Your family is looking great!

We rejoice with you at the birth of sweet Faith! We love you! Tracey
The picture with faith in the hat is awesome. She is so tiny and perfect. Glad the Holton's were able to give the blessing. It is so great to realize that you have other Christians that will come alongside to help you raise your daughter to be a woman of God.
What a stupendous thing to do, have an 8th day blessing!!!! Symbolically, 8 is a sign for eternity, so an 8th day blessing will surely last for all time. Also it's the # of notes in an octave. Surely that has some meaning too. smile.
How wonderful and what a treat! Praying blessings over Faith as she grows and Murray & Jaime as they raise, love and nuture her!!
Hey MurMur
She is so cute in that red hat.
I can wait to see her and hold her.
I tell her she loved and as two get parents.
Love you and Jaime and Faith,

Hey Murray, I just responded to your e-mail, but in the past have had issues with my e-mailing getting through to fxcc.org. So, please let me know if you don't have an e-mail from me. Thanks, Bobby Ross
Faith looks like such a sweet little snuggle bug. I love the red hat!! I think she would look great in those clothes I sent for Lincoln. Ha!! Just Kidding. I did buy the same outfit for my future nephew because it was too cute. I needed a baby in my life to have it. : )

Way to go Murray (and ofcourse, your wife)! She is beautiful-I had just started to say-could I see the baby and not just the holding of her-then- she is incredible. I am studying for qualifying exams-do you suppose you could ask Kinder to say a prayer for me (SMILE!)?
God bless and keep you in his hands,
Rubye Dodson (Choices-and your mom)
Happy Two Week Old birthday, Faith!
I miss you soooooo much and can't wait to see you again. Aunt Melody will be there the 22nd of January, and I may just slip into one of her suitcases and come along! What a blessing to have such loving, giving, and devoted Christian parents... I love you all,
Mom
