Ethans' blessing





Today I was able to give Ethan his baby blessing. It was a wonderful experience. Brooke searched all over for the perfect outfit and finally found the right one. My Grandma Saunders gave us a baby blanket that she made, which we used for the blessing. I was very grateful that my dad was able to be here for the occasion. Giving a baby blessing is one of the few times a father has to give a blessing that is similar to a patriarchal blessing. When we held him in the circle I looked down to see little Ethan smiling up at me and I saw how he relies on me, just like I rely on my Heavenly Father. And it helped me get a better understanding of His love for us.

It was a beautiful blessing today! I especially liked how you got him to make the cutest noise as you held him up for us all to see him. Way to go Brady!
