After many month, it finally became time for Elizabeth to give birth to our son and she did. I couldn't be more happy or any more faithful in the Lord. After eight days of life for our son, he was circumsized. My side of the family wanted to name him Zechariah after me and my wife was quick to tell everyone that our son was to be named John. This was a surprise to our family because none of our relatives had that name. My family then asked me what the name of our child was going to be. It was a bit inconsiderate since i was STILL MUTE! I signaled them to get me a writing pad and I simply wrote, "His name is John". Then immediately to everyone's amazement, including my own, my voice returned. I knew it was the works of the Lord. This unexpected event convinced onlookers that the love of God was with Elizabeth's our little baby and that he would be different and unique. This made the name 'John' seem appropriate and it gave him an identity of his own.
Thank you Elizabeth for being their for me when i couldn't speak for myself. They wanted to change the fate of our child's name and you stood your ground. I love you with all my heart and I love our newborn child, John.

Zechariah, I am happy you were able to finally see God's light and understand why we needed to name our son John. I am happy you will be a great role model to our son.
ReplyDeleteZechariah, i wanted to thank you for everything! you have been there the whole time, even though mute, it seems like you have said enough with your kind gestures. without you i would be lost and most likely incapable of handling the events that have occurred. together we shall raise our baby john to be a great man.
