Logan joins the party (finally)

by mattk @ Monday, Dec. 01, 2008 – 22:36:58

You might like to know that our first baby was born (just under a week late, which is pretty much in line with his parents' idea of timekeeping) at 11.35am on Thursday November the 27th! Result!

It's a boy!! Logan is the name. Now, I have no idea how to link to pictures on here but I'll try cutting and pasting in the links from flickr.com and you good people can let me know if they work or not:

Thanks for all the good wishes that we received on here beforehand, it was and is very much appreciated.

Enjoy what's left of your Monday night (roughly an hour and a half as I type this)!

Hi Mattk ... here is Logans Birth Angel this is also his Guardian Angel because he was born on thursday.

Zadkiel is your birth Angel.

His healing rays are turquoise and different shades of royal and indigo blue; his crystals are turquoise and lapis lazuli; his metal is tin. Attributes to focus on with Zadkiel are: abundance, wisdom, success with integrity.

Zadkiel, whose name means 'Covering of God', is ruler of thursday, the 6th of the Seven Heavens, the planet Jupiter and chief of the angelic order or group called the Dominions. He holds the keys of wisdom and abundance (both spiritual and material) and can help us to expand our horizons in all sorts of ways. In terms of carrer development he supports us with knowledge and memory - two most useful assets.

Zadkiel brings joy tempered with responsibilty: the maintaining of ideas and integrity. There are many kinds of abundance, including money, loving kindness, health, happiness and spirituality. Be clear in what you seek.

When you receive your abundance he saks that you remember the spiritual law: 'Do as you would be done by'. Would you yourself like to be in receipt of the action you plan? In the abundance you seek just for personal gain or are you going to share it? The law of Karma tells us that any actions we take which are good will result in manifold good deeds coming our way, while those of evil intent will rebound on us threefold (the threefold return) in this lifetime or the next.

Call on Zadkiel wheneever you need abundance, and if he is the angel of the day of your birth, then he will also be one of your Guardian angels. By practising the invocation, or carrying his crystal, you can learn to sense his energy around you.

Affirmation:

"Zadkiel, Zadkiel, Zadkiel, I ask for your aid to find the wisdom I need (or abundance or success that I will share with others), in love and light, love and light, love and light."

For abundance of success, wear or carry a Zdakiel crystal to remind you to invoke the angel when the time comes. Bear in mind that he will only help you if you are asking is for your unltimate highest good.

...Well, better late than never, I come late to the party, but no less impressed. Congratulations to both the happy parents, and good luck to the youngster who just came aboard. May he be safe and protected, from all that would do him harm. Logan is a great choice for a name. May you all be blessed, together. Take care.

Heeeey, well done bud (or more accurately, well done Mrs Wife), he looks a beaut.

In about 5 seconds you'll wonder how you ever lived without him. All the very best to you all, on day one i taught Jack the offside rule and that Arsenal play in red babygrows with white nappies. He seemed to take it all in.
