A gift and a blessing...

What a spiritual feast we had this weekend.  Amanda and Chris went to the Temple to receive their endowments prior to getting married this coming Friday.  I don't have words to express what that felt like, but my heart was full to overflowing with love and joy for these two amazing young adults.



Sunday, Jackie received her Patriarchal Blessing.  Again, words cannot describe my feelings.  To hear the words from our Heavenly Father through His ordained Patriarch, as he pronounced a blessing as unique and marvelous as the young woman receiving it; moved all of us to tears. 

I am grateful beyond measure for the gift of my daughters in my life. I love and admire them more than I can say.  I am so thankful for their good choices and the blessings that have resulted from them.  Heavenly Father has definitely been good to our family.

Fathers...

I was blessed to have an AWESOME Daddy.


Heavenly Father was definitely looking out for me when He also blessed me with an AMAZING Daddy for my children.



Years ago, I came across a poem about daddies that definitely applies to the Daddies in my life.

My Daddy is My Hero...

My Daddy is my hero 
and I can tell you why.
He's strong and brave and handome
and makes me happy when I cry.

He always has been there for me,
I'll love him 'til the end.
He's not just my hero,
but also my friend!

Happy Father's day to my beloved Daddy who is celebrating with my Heavenly Father.  Happy Father's Day to my sweet Hubby.  He is SUCH a good Daddy to our girls, and a great example of what a truly honorable man should be.  I love you both!
