Isaac's Blessing

Sunday, January 25th, we blessed Isaac (I know it was already a month ago, I am having issues keeping my blog up to date.) It was a very simple and beautiful blessing. My dad, Bishop Baldwin, Neil Mickelsen, Nic Wadsworth, Robert Reed, and Ryan Edmunds were in the circle with Michael. Some of the things that Michael said were (and quoting from his journal):

• Be attracted to the truths of the gospel
• Share truths with others and shear the light.
• His body would grow and develop to perform its proper function to allow him to do the work the Lord has sent him to do.
• He would have a knowledge of Heavenly Father's love and he would draw on that knowledge during his trials and struggles.
• A knowledge of Jesus Christ who enabled us to return to live with Him and Heavenly Father.
• A knowledge of his family's love and use it as a support and strength on his sojourn on earth.

Then since Mom and I were sitting with Emma, and praying that she would be quiet enough just so I could hear, I wasn't able to write anything down myself. Instead we had a good family friend write things down while Michael gave the blessing. And the things she listed were:

• Be able to use talents and gifts for good.
• Desire to share the truths of the gospel.
• Strong in body to perform work of this life.
• Knowledge of God's love and remembrance of that love to sustain him.
• Know family's love.
• All other blessing the Lord has for him.

It really was a beautiful blessing. I am grateful that Michael holds the priesthood and is able to perform such ordinances for our family. Isaac is such a blessing in our home. I am excited to see him grow and develop. I hope his life is full of happiness and success and that we can teach him and love him to the best of our abilities. I know we won't be perfect, I can already see that with Emma, but we are trying our best and the Lord is making up for our mistakes. What a blessing it is to have a family!
