When I was young I wanted to be named Dave. Dave was the coolest kid in my 4th grade class. Over the years I have learned that my parents gave me the name Jeff because they valued it. We named our children because we loved those names. A good deal of thought and love probably went into your name.
I have also figured out that a name is what you make it. A name can be despised or loved simply based on how a person lived their life. Adolph Hitler, Charles Manson = bad names. Winston Churchill, Princess Diana Spencer = good names.
When you know someone’s name and say it, they become real to you. When we talk to people and don’t know or say their name, they are a number in the crowd. People want to be known. People want to feel valued. Simply learning and saying someone’s name can make their day.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
