Little Miss Bountiful
February 17, 2020 by creatorworship
May God’s bountiful grace and goodness be poured out upon our newest granddaughter. If my source can be trusted, there are not five girls named Idellete in the whole of America. In light of the source of this name, Idellete Calvin, wife of the Reformer, John Calvin, it is a fine name. (Click here for more information on this godly woman.) We are thankful that our grandchildren will be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord and do pray God’s abundant blessing upon their development, faith, and life work.
Idellete be patient and kind
Industrious and diligent
Faithful and studious of mind
For the Faith be vigilant
As your namesake be strong in faith
Bearing up under trials and loss
Trust always in what the Word saith
Shunning worldly pursuits as dross
Be a Joy to all who know you
For the Savior live all your life
Point the many to life anew
May you bring unity, not strife
May God give you joy in struggle
Peace in sorrow, patience each day
Responsibilities juggle
With power unceasingly pray
With all these things may God bless you
Lightness of heart to meet each day
Toughness that will carry you through
Desire always to God obey
