Two thin tags of metal that many cannot bare the weight to wear.
Two mere dollars-worth tokens – more valuable than gold.
Two tiny tin-punched pieces of information which contain only a scratch of data,
on lives valiantly lived.
So much more than the eye can see
is their meaning to those who pray for the ones they hang upon,
and all those they serve.
Jared \j(a)-red\ pronounced JARE-ed.
The name Jared is a Biblical name from the Hebrew name יָרֶד (Yared) or יֶרֶד (Yered) meaning “descent.” In the Biblical Book of Genesis, Jared was the sixth link in the ten pre-flood generations between Adam and Noah; he was the son of Mahalaleel and the father of Enoch, and lived 962 years (per Genesis 5:18). The meaning of the name is “he who descended” (Hebrew root YRD). In the Book of Enoch it is explained that Mahalaleel named Jared because during his lifetime the angels of the Lord descended to earth. The name could also be understood as “he who shall rule” (future tense of the Hebrew root RDH, as found for example in Psalms 72:8).
We have a Jared. Continue reading “set your path!”
