Naming is Edenic.
I look at my list of naming God-gifts.

When I name the moment, and name-pray, I discover its meaning and more of God. "To name a thing is to manifest the meaning and value God gave it." Moments come and go in our lives, but when we take time to name it, we can see God in the details, we learn its function. The emptiness inside us begins to fill.

Even in the moments that hurt.
I seriously have a thing about knowing the names of things. I like knowing what the technical names are of plants, animals, soil, rocks. There is something about doing that that makes you connect with that object and gives you an appreciation for what God made.
Hi Connie,
Love your thoughts! I followed over from Ma's blog :)
I have a thing with wanting to know the meanings of words, and looking into word etymology.
That is true about God naming things and those things coming into being. Also look at the many many names of God...I have heard it said that they are not truly His names, but descriptions... but when you look at how people in the Bible are named, their names are descriptive of who they are, or something about them.
Thank you for such sweet thoughts :)
