BLESSED

I sat in Sacrament Meeting, waiting for the time that Baby Kyle would be held in his daddy’s arms, to be given a name and a father’s blessing. Other faithful Priesthood men were ready and waiting to stand in the prayer circle with them, including his grandfathers and uncles. As I held the hand of this perfectly, innocent, baby boy, just fresh from Heaven, I thought of another prayer circle that surely had gathered together to bless this mighty spirit who was about to leave his heavenly family and home, to come to this earthly family who eagerly awaited him.  And I thought, “How blessed we all are to have families to love and to be loved, that give us eternal purpose in this life and in the life to come.” --’Nana’ Connie Miles - Sunday, 14 April 2013
