Name Blessings

What is a Name Blessing?

After I had my first son, I found this great website which had cross stitch patterns with the baby's name, it's meaning and a Bible verse to go along. I thought this was a great idea, so I bought one for my son. I was able to help come up with a Bible verse for his name as well as the layout of the pattern. When my second son was born 15 months later, I bought one for him as well.
I think it is a great idea to bless your child with a thought-out Bible verse to grow on. Be blessed!

The link above is where I bought the Name Blessings I cross stitched for my sons. You can click on it and see if your name is available or other names. Sandra also does custom orders and will e-mail you with the proof before you submit your payment.
There are a lot of other projects on the site too. My other favorite is His Name is Jesus and I am currently doing the Spanish version for a missionary friend. You can find it at the Free link at the bottom. Yep, it's a free pattern!!
