On October 13th our family welcomed my youngest brother Malachi John Cowperthwaite here to the outside of the womb. Malachi has been a human being created in the image of God since his conception and we have acknowledged his personhood ever since we found out that Mommy was pregnant. As abortion abolitionists we acknowledge the value and dignity of every human being from the point of conception, and we know that they are human persons. There is always much rejoicing in our household whenever we find out that God has blessed us with another child in our family.
Baby names are discussed by the family and we enjoy suggesting names although Mommy and Daddy always get the final say of course. Our family has been very purposeful in choosing names with good meanings for my youngest siblings. We had thought of the name Malachi John when my second youngest sibling was only a couple weeks old. Malachi John means "messenger of the grace that YHWH has shown". May God make Malachi to live up to his name. All of us are greatly enjoying our time with Malachi.
We enjoy sharing pictures of this little guy, so here are baby pictures.
With love in the Lord,
Virginia
