Life Verse

For each of our children, Curtis and I have chosen a "life verse". We finally decided on Benjamin's verse.

"Of Benjamin he said, 'The beloved of the LORD dwells in safety. The High God surrounds him all day long, and dwells between his shoulders.' "

We really liked how it had Benjamin's name in the verse! Here are a few that we didn't like.

"And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin." Gen. 35:18

"Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,in the morning devouring the prey and at evening dividing the spoil." Gen. 49:27

Hopefully, this time tomorrow, we will be sending out news of Benjamin's arrival!

I think Gen. 49:27 applies more to teenage boys...

Anyway, we do hope and pray for him to arrive soon!
