Sam's Baby Blessing

There are no words to describe the feelings that I experienced today as Jon blessed our beautiful little Sam.  Jon and I have known from the day Sam was born that he has a very special mission here on Earth.  At 3 months old,  he has this amazing little personality.  Sam is a very quiet and patient baby, who is quick to smile at you the minute you see him.  When Sam looks at you his eyes pierce your soul and you can't help but hold him close and love all over him. 

Today as I lowered my head and closed my eyes to listen, as Jon blessed our little man I was overcome with the blessing that our Heavenly Father promised Sam.  Sam was promised that his body would be phyiscally strong which would enable him to serve the Lord.  Looking at Sam and the way his little body it built, I know that Lord not only meant heathy but that Sam will be physically strong.  Sam was blessed with the ability to know right from wrong and a strong desire to follow his Heavently Father.  Sam was told that he had come into our family at a very special time where he would be taught and loved.  Sitting there it felt like the Lord just opened the Heavens to pour every blessing he had on my precious little boy.  When I looked up at the end of the blessing, I couldn't help but be thankful for all the wonderful men who had stood in that circle.  They appeared to stand so tall as I experienced the amazing strength each of them had as priesthood holders.  What an spiritual and uplifting day.

I am so thankful for our family and friends that came to support us and was able to celebrate with us.

Isn't he so Handsome?  I just love his little tie, which was made by my neighbor and friend Amber Alhberg. 

My handsome husband.  No wonder I have such good looking boys.
