Teagan's Baby Blessing

Many thanks to Danielle Dallas for recording Teagan's baby blessing.  I would like to share it now with those who could not attend.

Teagan’s Baby Blessing given by Timothy B.  Fisher June 3, 2012

Teagan Timothy Fisher

Heavenly Father, we, a few of thy sons, come together to give this little boy a name and a blessing.

He shall be known upon the records of the Church and throughout his life as Teagan Timothy Fisher.

We are grateful for this ordinance as described in the Doctrine and Covenants. Heavenly Father, we are grateful for the plan of salvation and thy kindness to each of us on this earth.

Teagan, I am grateful to give you a patriarchal blessing at this time. You will receive a patriarchal blessing by an ordained patriarch to declare your lineage and to pronounce upon you other blessings. It is my turn as patriarch of this family to bestow a blessing upon you.

We love you and are here to support you throughout life.

Not long ago you were with Heavenly Father. You kept your first estate and chose to come to earth and gain this little body.

I bless you to exercise faith, to learn, to grow, to enjoy this beautiful earth and to not be distracted. True happiness is to follow the Savior, Jesus Christ. Your job is to follow the prophet.

I bless your mind to take hold of gospel truths that you may teach, lead, expound, and be an example to those around you.

I bless you to learn and grow in both secular and spiritual.

I bless you that you will serve a mission and teach people how to pray.

After your mission I bless you to seek an education that you desire and then find a woman to be a helpmate to you.

Your parents love you.

I seal these things through the great love and in the name of Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
