Today we blessed Andrew James.
It was beautiful. His blessing by his father was wonderful. And I had such a peaceful feeling through out the sacrament meeting. I really felt a testimony of the tender love Heavenly Father feels for all his children.
The opening hymn today was “For the Beauty of the Earth” – I guess that’s what started it. While I have long loved this song, I really thought about the words today –
For the love, which from our birth, over and around us lies.
And I suddenly felt very loved by Heavenly Father who made so many beautiful things – like trees for swinging in, and skies with spun sugar clouds, and mountains that turn every color of orange this time of year. He must communicate love through art projects. I am just like Him in that way I guess.
And then Andrew’s blessing – lovely. He has such a peaceful effect on my soul. When I sit and hold him, my heart is filled over.
It was a gorgeous day.
