The name Joseph means, "the Lord shall add" and the name Fikadu means, "it is His will" ... we are praising God for working His perfect will in adding Joseph to our family! Psalm 100 reads,
"Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations."
