Amani- Samuel's Journey to One
A Year of Love, A Lifetime of Blessings
From the moment Amani-Samuel was born, his life has been a beautiful reflection of God’s love and faithfulness. His name, meaning “peace” and “God has heard,” was chosen with purpose, a declaration of hope, answered prayer and the silent fortitude of his grandparents (Anne & Emmanuel of blessed memory).
Throughout his first year, every milestone was met with gratitude and awe. As he grew, so did his laughter, his curiosity, his strength and his warmth —all reminders of Psalm 127:3: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” Through sleepless nights and joyful mornings his family has continued to sing praises with the hymn “To God Be the Glory…”
As December 6th approaches, a day of double celebration awaits, filled with joy and reverence. Not only does Amani-Samuel turn one, but he will also receive the sacrament of baptism—a sacred moment of dedication to Christ. Surrounded by family, godparents, and loved ones, he will be welcomed into the body of believers through the waters of baptism.
May Amani-Samuel’s steps continue to be guided by the light of Christ, and may his name always remind the world that peace and answered prayers are found in God.
Timeless love, Timeless memories.
