A Beautiful Blessing

It has been a busy weekend with my dad and grandparents in town, graduation, Sage's blessing and Mother's Day. I will post more about the weekend later with pictures. We blessed Sage on Saturday so her great grandparents Dave and Jackie and her Grandpa Davey could also witness the blessing as they were in town. Along with them we had our good friends Donny and Donna who came into town. Sage's Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Tony, Uncle Tony, Aunt Lexi and cousins Dylan, Emmett and Presley, Aunt Jodie and cousins MacKenzie, Emmie and Kaylee, Aunt Jill, Uncle Dan and cousin Lacey, Great Grandma Sargent, Mary, Alan, Michael, Karlee, Frank and Brother Brandon Anderson from our bishopric were all there to support us as well. We are so grateful for all the love and support we have and hope Sage will grow up knowing and always feeling how loved she is. Jeanne had a good idea about recording what was said in Sage's blessing and since I don't keep an actual journal and this is blog is what we use to record our lives I will record it in this post. Taylor gave our Sage Nicole the most beautiful blessing. He blessed her that she will continue to grow and develop properly, health and strength, that she will be patient with her parents as they learn their duties and responsibilities of parenthood, that she will have a desire to be baptized and a continued desire to follow the Spirit and live in accordance with Heavenly Father's will, that she will marry a priesthood holder in the Temple for time and all eternity, that she will be a good example to those around her, that she will always know how loved she is and what happiness and joy she has already brought to her parents and families lives. I know she will not remember the blessing, but I hope that someday as she reads this she will know how much we love her and that she will also know how much our Heavenly Father loves her. She is so special.
