Tanner's Baby Blessing

Tanner received his baby blessing today. This morning, when I was putting him in his nice white suit, I had to do a double take. I couldn't believe I was getting him ready for his baby blessing already. Spencer gave him the blessing with his dad, my dad, Tanner's uncles Dan, Chad, Dave, Morley, and Abraham in the circle. I believe this was Abraham's first baby blessing. It won't be long before he will be turning in his mission papers, I'm so proud of him.

In Tanner's baby blessing Spencer mentioned that Tanner has been born to loving parents. He also acknowledged that Tanner has come into a world that can be full of darkness and evil. He blessed him with strength to overcome temptations and to be a good example to those around him. He blessed him with health and strength. He also blessed him to be able to serve a mission and that Heavenly Father will open doors for him while he is out serving. He blessed him to be worthy to marry a daughter of God in the temple and to follow the promptings of the Spirit.

I am so grateful for Spencer and that he is worthy to faithfully hold the priesthood and give our children baby blessings. With both Tanner and Aine he has started to consider what he was going to say in their baby blessings as soon as we found out I was pregnant. He has put a lot of thought and consideration into both their blessings. He is such a sweet father. I am thankful for the power of the priesthood and the comfort that as our kids are beginning their lives in this world that they can receive these special blessings.
