Blessing day

This blessing day has been a blessed day.  Just over a week from the last family event when we were all together for Dane's wedding and now we all came together to support the naming and blessing of Madelyn.  Her father blessed her with the priesthood he holds.  I then had the privilege of hearing testimony born of the importance, joy, and blessing of family from Rachel, Erica, John, Emily and many other good people.

I am so grateful to share strength and testimony together as we progress in seeking the Lord's plan for each of us and supporting one another in our efforts and successes

 After sacrament meeting we moved outside to the pavilion and enjoyed a nice dinner with great family.  We didn't get a picture of everyone but here are the highlights!

 Such a smart, cute foot decoration. It stays on, looks cute and shows off her decorated toe nails.

 And then we get the new parents with the grandparents.  This is my ninth grandchild and 3rd granddaughter.

My journey to understand light grew again through this song The Lord is My Light, hymn number 89.  This song shared so many truths with me today. One in particular was the chorus.

The Lord is my light;

He is my joy and my song.
By day and by night he leads,
He leads me along.

He is my joy - I can feel joy because of my Savior

and my song - I want to shout and sing and give praises

By day and by night he leads - I need not fear, though darkness creeps in, He will lead me, be with me, comfort me each step of the way

He leads me along.

and again comfort and hope in verse 2

2. The Lord is my light; tho clouds may arise,

Faith, stronger than sight, looks up thru the skies
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?

I will nourish and keep my faith stronger than sight that I may look up through the clouds and know of hope and joy. No darkness can ever remain!
