<TITLE>06. Par 31-31</TITLE>L-31   Now, we have some fine little fellows here. Would you... I want you to stay there and sing Bring Them In, afterwards. All right, you brothers come up here just a minute.
My, here's the first one, a little pair of brown eyes looking at me, with a big, cute smile. Little girl, what's her... [The mother says, "Sharon Rose. Sharon Rose."--Ed.] Sharon Rose, that's a great name to me. ["We named her, Brother Branham, after yours."] After my little girl that's gone on. ["We named her before she was even born, Brother Branham."] Named it before she was born. If it to be a little girl, you was going to name it Sharon Rose. ["We were sure she was going to be a girl. She had to be."] Had to be. ["Sharon Rose Goodman."]
You know what? I don't know that you know it or not; if my wife was standing here, she would probably almost faint. This is the same kind of a dress that my little girl had at the dedication, little Sharon Rose. This one may be... May this one live; where, God taken mine up.
What's your last name? [The mother says, "Goodman."] Mrs. and... Are you from here in the city? ["Chicago."] Chicago. Brother and Sister Goodman, God bless you.
31a        You know, my little Sharon looked like that. I don't guess there's anybody here remembers her by how she looked. She had little brown eyes like that, like her mother, real sweet little girl with dark hair. Just about...
How old is the baby? [The mother says, "Five months."--Ed.] Five months. She was eight months when God called her up. I seen her, a little after that. You know the story. ["We have it at home, on the tape."] You have it at home, on the tape.
Sharon Rose comes from the Word. I turned it around, from, "the Rose of Sharon." And He needed a little one, of them, on His altar, so He took it. See? And I'll be with her again. May your little Sharon live to fulfill the life that she would have lived here on earth. And may she be with you in Glory, as I feel that my Sharon will be with me.
31b        How do you do? See? You talk about a friendly little thing, look at this! She is just all smile.
Let us bow our heads.
Dear God, as I hold this little treasure, a little Sharon Rose. You know in my heart, Lord, what I'm thinking, so I don't have to express it. Blessed be the Lord God Who gives these little jewels to our hearts! Bless this Goodman home. May the parents be honored, which they are, to have such a jewel in home. May it remain in their home, Lord. And if there is a tomorrow, make it a honorable woman for tomorrow.
And now, Lord God, in obedience to what You commissioned us, by Your example, to do, You took little children in Your arms and blessed them, and said, "Suffer little children to come to Me." And they bring the baby to me, being Your servant, as You have said Your servants to carry on Your work. And here stands Your servants, Brother Neville, and Brother Capps, and myself. And now, Lord God, from the arms of the father and mother, we give to You little Sharon Rose Goodman, who we dedicate for a life of service, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God bless you! [Sister Goodman says, "Brother Branham, we also have five more at home, two girls and two boys."--Ed.] Five little ones, besides this! ["Yes."] How sweet! God bless you, Brother Goodman. God bless you, Sister Goodman. And may the Lord bless little Sharon!
31c        How do you do, brother? Now let's see, I--I... Arnett. [The father says, "Arnett."--Ed.] Arnett. Arnett, that's right. ["Named after--named after you."] Is that right? William, William Arnett? ["James William Arnett."] James William Arnett. That's a fine boy. You know, some things we have in common, he and I, already; names, and then we part our hair alike, you see. He's a fine boy, Jimmy. Guess that's what you call him, James? ["James."] James, then, all right.
Wonder if I could hold him? ["He might let you."] I don't know. Now, Jimmy, well, we are real buddies. You know that, don't you? All right.
Let us bow our heads.
