Chloe Grace Selke

Unbelievable! Our seventh grandchild is born and she is exquisite in every way; perfectly formed, newborn. Her mommy, Adrielle, was reading the meanings of names on Chloe's birth-day, May 19th, as she browsed through her laptop sitting on her hospital bed while in labor. That's amazing enough in and of itself, isn't it? Those epidurals are sometimes a wonderful invention I think. We decided that Chloe must mean 'Springtime' and 'new beginnings' and Grace simply means 'grace'. God's grace is upon our tiny Chloe. She is favored and treasured by her King and Lord and someday in the next few years she will choose Him too. I'm just sure of it. Certainly she is a breath of fresh air as I hold her in my arms and look into her little round face; the very creation of her takes my breath away and completely describes what a new beginning is supposed to express. New hope for the future is what she represents so well, and to know she has a mommy and daddy who will invest the love of Jesus into her young life, who have already been praying for her before she was even born. Well, I am in awe of the love of God and His favor over this child. She is amazing!
