Charli's Benediction

Benediction;blessing: a short prayer for divine approval. The orginal sense of the word blessing means " to mark with blood." in faith, we pray this benediction for our daughter, that one day, she will indeed be "marked with the blood" of Christ as she trusts Jesus as her Savior.

We chose the name Charli because we liked it, but we also wanted to write her a benediction that will be our continual prayer for her as we shepherd her heart through many stages of life. It is inspired by the prayers we were lead to pray for her before she was born.

Charli Mae Hendricks:

May the God of hope give your heart courage to
worship unashamedly,
proclaim boldly,
and love fearlessly.
