Rose on the altar
To signal a birth
A rose adorns the altar
Eli has now arrived
Note: Our church places a rose on the altar each time some church family has a new arrival. Dec 22nd one of these roses signaled the birth of Eli, my grandson who was born on Dec. 18th. 7 lbs. 4 oz.
Here is a photo of Eli. I am sure he will become a shortstop in MLB because of his long limbs and large hands.

I had an great Uncle Ray who played for the Pacific team in southern Ca. and when I was a kid all I remember is that he did have large hands.

He is a big boy, and he is so good at focusing his eyes on you. Congratulations on the new arrival in your family.
Your grandson is just precious! Congratulations on your new little guy! That is such a neat tradition: putting a rose on the altar like that!
