Blessing Day

"And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them." ~ Mark 10:16

"And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them." ~ 3 Nephi 17:21

Sunday we had the privilege of witnessing a special blessing for Cash. Standing in circle with family members, holding this sweet boy, his father gave him a name and a blessing. And what an incredible blessing it was. I was so proud of Mark and equally proud of Tiffani as she bore a sweet testimony.

I have taken pictures of Cash since he was born. I have them displayed all over our home. These new photographs have become prized possessions. It's not possible to capture in a picture how precious Cash has become to us.

Little children are so lovely, innocent, teachable, honest, cheerful, submissive, optimistic, and pure and have a host of other attributes. They are everything Jesus held them up to be: “For of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14).

...And we're done!!

Do you know who you are, little grandchild of mine,

So precious and dear to me?

Do you know you’re a part of a great design

That is vast as eternity?

Can you think for a moment how much depends

On your holding the “Iron Rod”?

Your life is forever—worlds without end—

Do you know you’re a child of God?



Thank you
