Precious Moments

Last Sunday I asked Blake if he could give me a blessing. He pulled a chair out into the family floor and we had the girls sit on the couch so they could participate in the blessing and see their daddy exercise the priesthood. Blake gave me a special blessing. After my blessing, Kelsey asked if she could have a blessing. Blake gave her a really sweet blessing. Kelsey was beaming when he finished, it meant a lot to her that her daddy could give her a blessing. Mylee was a little hesitant to get a blessing, but got on the chair after some positive encouragement. Her blessing too was very sweet and special. Lanaea during all of this was running around, climbing up and down the couch, etc. However I knew she was observing what was going on because after Blake finished with Mylee’s blessing Lanaea came up to the chair and sat down, folded her arms and sat very still. Taking advantage of the moment, Blake gave her a very special blessing. I wasn’t so touched by his blessing as I was by Lanaea’s behavior during it. She sat perfectly still the whole time and kept her head slightly bowed. I cried during the whole thing. The spirit spoke so loudly to me that she was perfect and a child of God. I couldn’t help but embrace her after her blessing and thank my Heavenly Father for sending three of His perfect, sweet, and innocence children. I also realized as I have many times before that family is what life is all about. There is nothing that brings more joy then being married and raising children with the person you love.
