what's in a name?



we have always loved the name lucy.  always.  it was our number one girl name pick.  for many years we didn't think we would have a lucy.  and then we she was here.  with us.  a blessing.  i have been thinking about her perfect name and looking at the meanings.  i've discovered how fitting her name is.

lucy grace

lucy:  light.  she is our light.  our light after darkness.  our answered prayer.  she lights up our lives and the lives of those around us.  st. lucy.  the patron saint of sight.  fitting

grace:  favor, blessing.  a virtuous name referring to God's grace.  it couldn't be a more perfect description.  she is our blessing.  given to us by God's grace.  






but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  
-2 Corinthians 12:9
