Chandler's Baby Blessing

Chandler received his baby blessing in our home ward on May 5th! It was such a wonderful day. To start with, Chandler was able to wear a blessing outfit that has been passed around on the Benson side. I love that he was able to wear something with meaning (thanks again, Kimberly!). And he looked ridiculously cute in it, too.

Josh blessed him and my Dad, Jordan, Blaine Liljenquist, Dave Nelson, Steve Davis, and Brian Goss stood in the circle with him. 

The blessing was beautiful! I want Chandler to be able to reflect on it through his life, so this is for him:

Chandler, you were told that you are a choice son of your Heavenly Father and that you came through a faithful lineage, with ancestors who sacrificed for you so that you could have the blessing of the gospel. You were blessed to have the ability to gain a testimony of Jesus Christ and His Church. You were also told that happiness comes through obedience and that you are blessed with an obedient spirit! You were admonished to strive to choose the right and serve others throughout your life. You were also blessed to grow strong and healthy, to have the opportunity and means to reach your full potential, and to remember where you came from. You were counseled to marry someone worthy of the temple, to be sealed, and to create your own family.

What wonderful counsel and promises! Your Daddy and I are going to do everything in our power to help you realize your full potential, little one. We love you so much.
