Bennett Lee

We are so thankful our little man has arrived! He surprised us and came 2 weeks early on Friday, February 1st at 8:31pm, weighing 7lbs 10oz and 19.5 inches long.

When it comes to naming our children, we are all about meaning. We want each child to have a name that has meaning behind it and becomes a part of their character. Luke means "bringer of light" and Daniel is Jesse's middle name. His life verse is Luke 11:36-Therefore, if your whole body is full of light..it will be completely radiant, as though a floodlight were shining through you.  Bennett was a name I had heard a few years ago and it means "blessed." When we found out we were having another boy that is exactly how we felt-blessed. His middle name, Lee, is after my grandfather, Robert Lee Jones. He was a pastor and an amazing man of faith. He passed away when I was only 4 but is someone I have always admired and had a great impression on me even as a little girl. Bennett's life verse comes from Luke 11:28- Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it. This is our prayer for Bennett-that he would become a man who desires to hear and obey the Lord. We pray his life would be blessed and he would be a blessing to those around him, just as we pray for Luke that he would be a boy/man who brings light to those around him.
