Susan's baby blessing was this morning in John's brother, Jeremy's ward along with her little cousin Seth. We thought it would be nice to do the two blessings together. Susan and Seth were born 7 weeks apart.
We were originally planning on having a luncheon for all of the families at Jeremy's house afterwards, but Susan leaked her diaper thoroughly onto my lap. I just could not see myself serving food, having children climb all over me, and even just sitting in poopy clothes for a couple of hours. Every time I moved my arm down, it brushed across the poop spot on my lap. So we went straight home after Sacrament Meeting. The 50 minute drive kept us from going back.
These are my notes from Susan's baby blessing:
"Heavenly Father loves you and will take care of you."
"You will help tie the family together and that is one reason you were sent to this family."
"You need to learn about the scriptures and the doctrine of the church."
"You have great capacity to love your parents as they lead and guide you."
"You will have your own eternal family."
"You need to learn to serve Jesus Christ and be a good servant."
"Get to know Heavenly Father and the Savior by studying the scriptures. Learn what kind of being Jesus Christ is so you can follow His example."
These are John's additional notes:
"Learning about the scriptures and doctrine you will make the gospel part of your life and your example of living it will help others to live it. Through that means you will be able to bring others to the gospel."
"You will have a great love for your parents. As you develop that it reciprocate some of the love that your parents have for you."
