Today ~ I had an Epiphany. Thank you God!! Nate will be Baptized a week from Saturday. He will wear the same Baptismal gown as my Daddy, me & Sam. When Sam was Baptized, I had the gown; but, not the slip. So, I made one. I decided to sew into the slip small pin tucked hems. On these hems, I embroidered Daddy’s name & year of birth; same for me and Sam.
Now~ here comes the miracle. I needed to spell Nate’s name. No problem ~ right.? Well, I had this nagging question…let’s call it what it was ~ God was saying to me….“you’d better call & ask”. Now here are all the small miracles:
- Sandra posted something on Facebook with his name. The fact that I noticed her post was a miracle.
- I noticed his name was spelled funny. I thought it was a “typo”. The miracle…I noticed the “typo”.
- The miracle…I remembered all this 2 1/2 weeks later.
- The miracle…I finally gave in & made a phone call. I really do not like talking on the phone. You’ll NEVER get caught on a phone call with me!!!
Here’s how my Mr. Nate’s name is spelled…Nathanael. I’m so very Thankful I followed God’s advice & called before I started embroidering his name!!!
LYM ~ my sweet precious angel Nathanael sent straight from God!!
Your,
∞ Honey ∞
p.s. To my sweet Nate, I just did a little research on your name. From the Catholic Encyclopedia:
“Nathanael - One of the first disciples of Jesus, to Whom he was brought by his friend Philip.”
