Here is our growing family. I never imagined I would have 4 Beautiful daughters. They are such a joy in my life and Scott and I are so grateful for the many blessings and teachings that they add to our life. Londyn was blessed yesterday on May 29, she was 3 weeks old. Scott's parents and brother Eian came and Scott's sister Tara and her daughter Emily came as well and will be staying for a week. We are so excited to have family in town with us for this special time. Scott's parents brought their tent trailer and camped at one of the many campgrounds by us. Last night everyone went over(except me and Londyn of course) to the campground and had fun with a campfire and making nummy smores. The girls came home telling me how good they were and that they love smores.
Londyn's blessing was so beautiful and I just wanted to put some of my thoughts on here as well as some of the words spoken in the blessing. There was such a special spirit there and throughout the whole blessing I felt so much love from our Heavenly Father and knowledge that he sent me my daughters that I might teach them and be blessed by their sweet spirits. As Scott was pronouncing the blessing he blessed Londyn that she would be strong and not worry about the disease and problems of sickness with her body. That her body would be strong and healthy and she would be able to accomplish all of her desires and not worry about physical ailments. She was blessed that she would have strong Faith in Christ and our Heavenly Father that she would be desirous to bind herself to her Heavenly Father through sacred covenants and that she would understand the importance of those covenants and be desirous to make righteous choices and know the difference between truth and error.
Hearing the words spoken and feeling the spirit I had thoughts of the last/chosen generation and how strong they need to be. I felt that Londyn was being blessed with that strength and that she is definitely one of those spirits that has been saved for this time on the Earth. I know that my other girls are very strong willed and have such a great desire to do good that they have also been sent here to Earth at this time to be a good influence and example and that the Lord has a work for them to do to prepare the world for the second coming.
There were many other thoughts on my mind yesterday throughout Sacrament Meeting about other family members and the messages that were shared and the hymns that were sung helped me be more receptive of the spirit. My Grandma Bessie is not doing too well right now and I have been thinking lots about her. She has been calling me every other day to say hello and just to check how me and Londyn are. They have been such sweet conversations even though she isn't able to talk for long. The final Hymn sung yesterday was "God Be with you til we meet again", I started crying knowing that same day in the future that we would be saying goodbye to my Grandmother, whether it happens in the next few days or in several months if she gets better. But the spirit comforted me to know that no matter when my Grandma passes away, or any loved one, that we will meet again.
After Scott blessed Londyn he came and sat down and Londyn looked up at him and just stared right at him for a long while. It was so sweet. She also gave him such a big beautiful smile. It was one of those sweet tender moments.
