The Name

EDEN : paradise, a place of pristine or abundant natural beauty

The name Eden reminds us of some place beautiful. "God planted a garden in Eden, in the east. He put the Man he had just made in it. God made all kinds of trees grow from the ground, trees beautiful to look at and good to eat. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, ... The Lord God took the Man and put him the garden of Eden to tend and keep it."(Genesis 2:8-15)

For us, Eden is a picture where creation is in perfect harmony with the creator. We believe that's the way we were created to live, the way it was intended to be. Life is so full of beauty and order and goodness, yet at times can be so filled with pain and heartache. May the name Eden reminds us and her to choose a way of life that is in pursuit of God's way.

Chinese Name - 天淳 (Tin Shun)

天 - sky; heaven

淳 - genuine; pure; honest; simple

我們決定用“天”字因為想紀念兒女是天父所賜的﹐“淳”是希望她能在複雜的世界活出單純﹐真誠和簡撲的生命。
