Personal Guidance
Names carry meaning, and the names of one's children can reflect the spiritual heritage one wishes to transmit. Even small choices like naming carry the imprint of the values we want to pass on.
Reflection Questions
- What names, words, or labels are you giving to the things and people in your life — and what do they reveal about what you value?
- What legacy of values are you actively transmitting to those who will outlive you?
