Last Sunday Mark ordained Cash to the office of a Teacher and gave him a remarkable blessing. He also ordained Colby to the office of a Deacon and gave him a beautiful blessing as well. Colby is so excited to be in the Deacon's quorum and to go to the activities. Brother Black is a member of the bishopric and a wonderful support to their family. Grandpa and I were so very grateful to be there.
A portion of Cash's blessing...
"We bless you with courage to do things that are outside of your comfort zone, and those moments will be difficult at the time and as they pass you will find growth, and new opportunities to meet people, and develop skills that you yourself were unaware that you had. We bless you that you will maintain a positive outlook in life and see the good in others, and as you bear the responsibility of being as the oldest in the family that you will look to your brothers as friends, and allies, and not as enemies."
A portion of Colby's blessing...
"We bless you that you will be guided by charity and love as you interact and have relationships on this earth, and as you enter into the Deacon’s Quorum, you will find friends and those around you that need help or could use a friend, and that those opportunities will not just be ones where you look for others to accommodate you but you will accommodate others, and that you will look for leaders around you as examples of what it means to be a man and ask them questions and find ways to learn from them as you go on campouts and different activities, that there will be ways for you to not only have fun but also to learn."
