What's in a name?

 

I’ve always known that my name, Sharon, is a Hebrew name meaning “plains" as in flat lands.  Not sure I was ever very excited about that, but so it is.  One day, a very dear friend discovered and revealed to me that an alternate meaning of the name Sharon is “His song.”  I’d NEVER seen that before so it was quite thrilling for me, as I am a lifelong musician, but only recently discovered the gift of songwriting.  My blog, this is His song, is so named to give honor to God for the songs that He gives that bring joy, hope, comfort, and restoration at the times we need them most. May we lovingly celebrate and appreciate His magnificent gifts of music and song, knowing that every good and perfect gift is from above.
