Announcing…Melody Lynn Knowles

 

 

My heart is steadfast, O God!

I will sing and make melody with all my being!

Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn!

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your steadfast love is great above the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

          Psalm 108:1-4 (ESV) 

 

Announcing the birth of our tenth child, Melody Lynn Knowles!

 

Parents: Thad and Virginia Knowles

 

Siblings: Mary, Julia, Rachel, Joanna, Lydia, Andrew, Micah, Naomi, Benjamin

 

Date: August 2nd, 2005

 

Time: 6:53 a.m.

 

Weight: 9 pounds, 3 ounces

 

Delivered by: Cathy Rudolph at Florida Hospital South in Orlando.

 

We named our daughter Melody as a reflection of our desire to worship God with a song in our hearts.  Her middle name, Lynn (which was my middle name until I married), means “waterfall” – so here is a waterfall & music passage from the Bible, too!

 

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls;

  all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love,

  at night his song is with me --  a prayer to the God of my life.

            Psalm 42:7-8 (NIV)
