I have always thought the term "Baby Blessing" has dual meaning. Not only is the baby receiving a blessing, but the baby is a blessing. The family has been given a "baby blessing" from heaven. I can't put better words to how I felt this weekend than that. It was a blessing. Katie is a blessing. And so is all the family that came to support us and supported us in their hearts at home. How grateful I am for the "blessing" of being able to have our daughter blessed this Sunday at church. Kyle gave such a beautiful blessing. I've always admired how he can so eloquently phrase things. He has a love for words, and it's professed in how he speaks, especially when it comes to things of a spiritual nature. I tease him that he is the "Neil A. Maxwell" of our family. I love him for sharing that talent and love with me.
Katie's blessing day was perfect. She is doing so well, as am I. I just love being a mother of three. They are my greatest joy.
If I would have known you were blessing Katie on Sunday, I would have been there! :) That is why I hate being so far away; missing those wonderful moments such as a baby blessing.
