Spirit of Adoption



My friend Pam Levenick took this photo this summer and has made it black and white, printed it on watercolor paper and made it into a lovely greeting card with Malachi 4:6 "And He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers" on it. The special thing about this to me is that this is our daughter Elia and her brother Nick.

Elia Jane's name comes from Malachi 4:6 and Luke 1 where it speaks of John the Baptist coming in the spirit of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers." For new readers: Elia is the feminine of Elijah, and Jane is the feminine of John. May her life always be a reflection of the Spirit of Adoption!

This card will soon be available in the bookstore at IHOP.
