It's A Girl

We have all heard the news.  It didn’t take but a few minutes for the announcement to stretch around the world. William & Kate had a baby girl. Not just any baby. It’s a royal baby who just by being born is fourth in line to the throne of England. This is such new news that at my writing, they have not picked a name. Well, they may have but they are not saying yet.
My thoughts are, it will probably be three to four names long. Her father name is; William Arthur Philip Louis. And her brother is;  George Alexander Louis. This seems to be something royals do.  I’m not a royal but I have three given names. One because my mom wanted a girl and had a name picked out. Well, I got the name along with my grandfather’s two names. Royals are strange in name picking and soon we will know this little girls handle.
It was a bit of a circus for the press following Kate around for months. Not so with us mortals. For the rest of us, our mom’s didn’t have the media following them around wanting to be the first to tell the world we were born. Used to be our names would go in the paper a couple of days later but that doesn’t happen much any more. The most we will have is our name in the obituary column when that day arrives.
In the mean time we can rest assured of something very royal for us. We have been adopted into God’s family. We are children of the King. Even more than that, our name was written in the Lambs Book of Life when we accept Jesus Christ as the Saviour of our sins. The proof is in  1 Peter 2:9 and it reads;
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. It means we are His child and that's something to celebrate.
Something to think about just before Mother’s Day.
