My Forever Family

Eli's Blessing Day was not only chaotic and busy, but so sweet! We got to have lots of family show; which was so exciting. I loved my little man's blessing outfit. It was my brother's. My dad brought it up and at first I was worried. It was exactly what I wanted but it had aged with the color to show it. So I went to work the night before; I washed it then took bleach to it. WALLA! A brand new blessing suit. It was a little big for Eli but he pulled it off.

 How grateful I am to have my family. There is nothing I wouldn't trade for the three boys I have in my life (Matt, Eli, and Titus).

Heavenly Father has blessed us with this little one. After Eli's blessing the hymn song for the sacrament was "God loved us so He sent His Son". I pondered on how much God truly loves each and every one of us to give this precious child to us which we would do anything for. 

"The Lord gives no commandments to his children that are not calculated to make them happy and thus successful. Therefore, he has added to the basic commandment of “be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth,” the reason for so doing: that you may have joy and rejoicing in your posterity." - PRESIDENT HARTMAN RECTOR, JR
