Blessing Day

This is one of my favorite pictures of Tessa, because you can see her dimple. Today is her big day. Her mom will dress her in a beautiful white gown and her dad will hold her in his arms and pronounce a blessing and name on her. It will be a wonderful moment for all 5 of the Ohio Coils...and I can't be there. The sadness of missing that moment and this special day is softened by the thought that her parents are doing exactly what they should be doing and I am so proud of them. I would love to see Carlee and Porter sit with their arms folded and listen to their dad's voice as he promises Tessa a beautiful life. He will tell her of her future, talk about being loved and loving and someday going to the temple to marry her sweetheart. Someday Tessa's husband will hold their baby in his arms and give the same blessing to their baby. The circle of the gospel is wonderful. It is like the North star, always there, never wavering, guiding us in our actions and thoughts. Tessa is being blessed today, but it won't end at "Amen". The blessings will always be hers to have as a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves her, parents who will protect her and a brother and sister to hold her hand along the way. I love you Tessa. Happy Blessing Day! Grandma
