Blessings

I am sitting here staring at the envelope containing my daughters Patriarchal blessing.  I am dying for her to get home so I can read it.....after she does.....of course.  She went and got it last weekend and I have to say, sitting in on your own child's PB is one of the coolest things ever.  Talk about being given a window into the potential of your child.  It was an opportunity to see my daughter as her Father in Heaven sees her.  I was given new eyes and it was amazing.  My son wants to go thru his first year of seminary before he gets his, so next summer is when I will be given new eyes to see him.

What a true blessing it is for MJ to have personal scripture to return to often and be guided on the path that was laid out for her.  Just like the scriptures and the prophets, her PB is her very own Liahona.  I hope that she will pull it out often to read and ponder, not put it away in a drawer for years to never be looked at.....like I did.  I have since repented and pull it out often to receive guidance.

As preparation for Emma getting her PB I got mine out and read it to the kids.  I asked the kids what they thought and Emma said, "well, everything on there has happened so I guess that means you are going to die soon."  Haha Thanks for that Emma!  There's always room for improvement....lots of improvement.
