Today my oldest son was Baptized and Conformed a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. What a wonderful day it has been. We woke up to a little bit of snow, which was amazing. We haven't really had any snow yet this year.
I wish I could put into words the feelings that I have had today. The spirit is always strong at a baptism, no matter if it is an 8 year old child or an older adult. But it is also just a little different when it is your own child. My husband and I were sealed in a Temple so that if we live rightously we can be together forever. That sealing is the last and final step to take to be able to live with our Heavenly Father. Today my son took the first step. He is now a member of Christ's church and he can live with us and our Father in Heaven if we all continue to live rightously. It was an amazing day.
"...and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you." Alma 34:38
Why I started this blog...
I've had some health problems for some time now. I've started to turn a corner and I've noticed that I wasn't thanking my Heavenly Father for my many blessings. I even started to become blind to the tender mercies that He continues to send me. So in trying to focus on my blessings and the tender mercies He sends, I started this blog so I can post about them and share them with you. I hope you enjoy reading about me and my happenings with the Lord.
Alma 34: 38
That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.
