New Joy


The newest joy in our clan arrived on Saturday morning.  Weighing in at six pounds eleven ounces and twenty inches long, Nova Joy Melchor Brewer made her appearance September 7 just before four a.m.  She is a blessing, and Mommy, Daddy, and big brother (that’s Suzanne, Andrés, and Mateo) are doing just fine.  (So, by the way, is grandpa.)

In one way or another, I can bear witness to the miracle of birth from the perspective of three generations.  I have been (and am) a grandpa, a dad, and a brother.  And I think I can say with some authority that birth is easiest on us grandparents.

The roots of the word Nova are Latin; it means new.  Nova Joy - New Joy.  Little Nova Joy, may the good Lord enable you to live up to your name as you bring new fresh joy to all who know you.
