Today was our little girls baby blessing. It was a really neat blessing. He first started off by saying that she has been waiting a long time to come to earth (that's when I started to cry) I know she's been waiting a long time to come to earth and gain her body. He also talked about how she will be a "Shining example to her siblings," and a "Shining example to others around her." Those are the things that touched me the most about her blessing. It was a great fast and testimony meeting the spirit was strong and it seemed like the testimonies were strong about families even our ward family which I felt for the first time a strong bond to today, it was neat.
This blessing dress is now officially special and an antique to my girls because each one has worn it for their blessings, yes it's thirteen years old. I told the girls that I would love to make something special with it and give it to each one so that they can remember their dress. I am still thinking of what to make. If any of you out there had any good Ideas, it would be welcomed!
Congrats! on your sweet baby girl! It looks like her blessing was wonderful! Happy New Year! I don't know how you do it with 8 my five are driving me crazy.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if you could use part of the lace and pearls to make each of the girls a handkerchief to use on their wedding day! She looks beautiful in her dress, congrats on her blessing day :)
