"Noah" & "Abigail"

"Noah": This Hebrew name's original meaning is "comfort" (cf. Genesis 5:29). The story of Noah from the Bible is in Genesis Ch. 6-9.

"Noah": 此希伯來文名字的原意是"安慰"(參創世記5:29). 聖經創世記6至9章記載關於挪亞的故事.

"Abigail": Also a Hebrew name. The original meaning is "Father's joy." The story of Abigail can be found in 1 Samuel Ch. 25.

"Abigail": 也是個希伯來文名字. 意思是"父親的喜樂". 亞比該的故事記載於撒母耳記上第25章.

btw, Noah's Chinese name is "嘉信" (wonderful faith) and Abigail's is "嘉恩" (wonderful grace). They are inspired by Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."

此外, Noah的中文名字是"嘉信", 而Abigail是"嘉恩". 這兩個名字是由此經文所啟發: "你們得救是本乎恩,也因著信;這並不是出於自己,乃是神所賜的." (以弗所書2:8)

沒有時間打電話給你,但時常想到你,那天從你那裡回家後,我問Nathan要不要再一個妹妹,他說不要,弟弟就好了,看來他不喜歡女生.

有機會我會再打電話給你,好好的聊一聊,我的好姊妹.

願神保守你一家四口.
