What’s Your Name?
I have been known by many.
Mary to my family.
Sister - sometimes from my Daddy
Mrs. Hutchins – after I
married
Mary Jane – that’s what
most people called me when I worked.
MJ – a co-worker
constantly used that
Jane Mary – one of my
bosses at work. He was funny.
Momma – my children
Aunt Mary – nieces and
nephews
Granny – all my grands
My maiden name is Killough
– kill low
But for some reason so
many people would pronounce it Kellogg, like post toasties. In fact, a good friend from high school
signed my annual, K E Double L, O Double Good. Kellogg’s best to you.
Anybody remember that
commercial jingle?
One of my dearest friends
calls me Sister Mary.
Lots of the younger
generation call me Miss Mary.
Mr D calls me Honey.
But most important of all
. . .
Jesus calls me 'My Child'.
Until Next Time


OH, I love the picture of you and Jesus! That's the best one of all, and to know Him as our dear Savior, Lord, Abba Father, our friend. I love that He knows my name, and He knows everything about me and still loves me enough to die for me. I enjoyed your post. My name is Pam, Pamela, Pammy (to my parents), Mom, Aunt Pam, Grandma, or Pamela Anne Mursch to my mother when I was in trouble. I do remember the Kellogg commercial. My maiden last name of Mursch got changed to "Mush" sometimes. I am Mrs. Steiner, Pam Steiner, Pamela Mursch Steiner. I'm just me. Yes, a daughter of the King of kings...Praise God!
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs and smiles across the miles!!!
DeleteI love that picture. He is our Rock, Redeemer, Savior, Lord. As Pam said, I love that He knows my name. I'm Mary Beth, Mary, Betsy, Mom, Aunt Betsy, Mary Beth Saathoff Queen and baby sister.

Betsy

DeleteHow blessed are we who Jesus calls My Child!! I have a former co-worker (and friend) who calls me TD. I do remember that Kellogg commercial!! My maiden name is Kelly. People don't say it wrong, but D'Orsaneo get butchered all the time! LOL
ReplyDeletelol - I have tried to pronounce your name several times, I don't know if I ever got it right!!
DeleteOh, I love that picture of you and Jesus. So lifelike. I want to make up one! I have many names, too. Miss D., Miss Debby, Debra, of course Mom, and "sweetie" by my husband. oh and some friends call me Deb. I think that's it.
ReplyDeleteI tend to develop nicknames for most of the blogs I visit, you have become Ms. Shasta to me! lol Hope you're enjoying a great day.
DeleteI love that we share a name and I love that last picture of you and Jesus. It brings tears to my eyes💖.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw it I got the holy goosebumps. Someday it will be real.
DeleteI'm happy that I can say I'm a child of Jesus too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe first part of the jingle, Good Morning, Good Morning, the best to you each morning.....

Dear Mary, I love the picture of you and Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, I really enjoyed reading your post and enjoyed that picture of you with Jesus! I need to try that out. My Bible journaling went over names were are called and one of them was friend of Jesus. I played a song called He Calls Me Friends by Phillips, Craig and Dean. You are also a blog friend to many!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one of my favorite hymns..."Jesus, Jesus, Jesus....there's just something about that name!" My full name is Deborah. I'm called Debbie. My mom calls me Deb. My husband calls me baby. My kids call me "mom." My DIL's and babies call me MILLIE. My sisters call me "Sissy." Jesus calls me his child, which has been the sweetest gift of all :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, heartwarming post! Reading through all of your names truly shows what a rich, loved life you have built. Each name is like a little badge of honor for the different roles you’ve played and the people whose lives you’ve touched.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of names.
