Abigail's Blessing

Abigail was blessed today by her daddy. It was a perfect day. Most all of our family was able to come to the blessing. We missed having my sister Carrie and her family there with us. She was very good during the blessing. Dustin said as soon as he took her up there her eyes started rolling back and closing. She was perfectly quiet and just went to sleep.  The men in the circle was Dad, Grandpa Liechty, Grandpa Anderson, Uncle Jon, Uncle Matt, Unlce Russ, Great Grandpa Joe, Great Grandpa Wendell and Bishop Derr.  I forgot to get a picture of all the men together.  But we were so glad they were all there to be a part of this special day.  Dustin did an excellent job giving the blessing.  Some things that stood out to me that was said during her blessing are:

She was blessed to be able to see the good in others.
To be mentally, physically and spiritually strong.
To strive to be like Christ. 
Dustin talked about how she has sisters that love her and adore her and parents too.
That she would thrive in life.
That her sisters would teach her many fun and important things.
That she would have the strength to resist the temptation in life and focus on the good in the world.
That she would be able to feel God's love in her life.
That her parents and family would have the patience, strength, and love to help her grow in life.

I think this was our first family picture since she was born. 

Grandma Liechty gave a beautiful testimony during the meeting.  She said she felt her mom and dad there, my Grandama and Grandpa Jackson.  I had thought and prayed that morning that they would come.
