Moments after Sparkle’s tiny heifer
slipped into our world last week, my first words were, “Glory be!” It’s not an
expression that I use often, if ever, so I sort of surprised myself.
In the ensuing days, we’ve considered
a number of clever names for this little cutie, but none of them seemed right.
I wanted to call her Glory, but kept talking myself out of it. After all, “glory”
refers to extreme admiration, awesome splendor, wondrous majesty, astounding
beauty, and heavenly bliss—descriptions seldom applied to cows. But during yesterday’s
morning chores, I decided that my world could stand a good deal more splendor, beauty,
and bliss, so Glory it is!
“In a great chorus they
sang, 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty! The whole earth is filled
with His glory!'" –ISAIAH 6:3 (NLT)
