A name and a blessing

On Sunday, Jan 5, our sweet baby John was blessed. My dear friend, Christi, wrote the blessing out for us again (she did the same when Rob was blessed) Here it is:

We bless you to know how much you are loved and how excited everyone is to have you in the family and in our home. You bring happiness into our home already with your smiles and your cheerfulness. We bless you that you will keep that cheerfulness and remain happy and positive. Your happy attitude will help to lift others. You will have a desire to search for others who need your help and care. You are blessed with a love and desire to help others gain an appreciation of the Gospel. We bless you to grow strong and healthy and to know that there are so many people who love you. We bless you to look up to the example of your brother, your sister, your parents and grandparents, your cousins, aunts and uncles. We bless you to learn from them, for they are good people. We bless you to know that your Father in Heaven is real. You will gain a testimony of Him and have a relationship with Him and with your Savior, and you will know that He died for you. We leave this blessing with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

What a special gift - to be able to see a glimpse of who John is, and who he will become. I pray for him, that he may be able to reach his divine potential. We love you John!
