Her Blessing Day

Each of our children have been blessed on Labor Day weekend. It's sorta appropriate, don't you think?

I love that the father of our home can take this sweet innocent baby, so new from heaven and give her a name and bless her with his priesthood power (the power from God). It's a moment of heaven on earth! A man worthy enough to hold that power and a child so special and unique and known to God personally.

I like to think about the family members that are there in heaven sending these sweet spirits down to earth to recieve their bodies. I wonder if her Great Grandpa Gurr, Great Grandpa Jennings, Great Grandma Kroff, Great Grandpa Kroff, maybe Great Grandma Lefevre were there to tell her good bye for really just a short time in the grand scheme of eternity.

Maybe there were family members there that I haven't met or more likely maybe I met before I was sent to my home here on earth too. I also like to ponder on what it was like for our Heavenly Father to send her off, and even more what it was like for him to send each one of us off. I probably get a small glimpse of this as I do things like in my previous post and send my children off on the school bus.

These spirits, in a body just trying to learn how to make it work. Then growing and maturing and learning. I like to think that being a parent I'm having a small glimpse of the grand scheme of all our Heavenly Father's plans for us. It's just miraculous! It's hard, not easy at all! Worth it? Yes.
