Everett Zachariah Thomas Abbott
Four names for one baby.
Everett, Everett comes from your father. It means brave and wild and strong. It was also your great grandfather’s name. The only one who left before you came.
Zachariah, because in my dark days God taught me his mercy and salvation is tender. When Zachariah’s speech was restored he choose to praise God, and I too choose to praise him.
Thomas, Thomas because he loved dearly, when he saw the risen Christ he didn’t just admit he was alive like the others had, he declared him to be God. Then went to the edge of the world declaring God’s tender mercy.
Abbott, because you belong to us and we to you. You were given to us to love and care for and every day we thank God for you.
