Abigail's Blessing

So I just realized I never did a little blurb about Abigail's blessing!
She was blessed on the 4th of September. It was a gorgeous day. We had a lot of family there and it was just a really wonderful thing. Thanks to everyone who was willing to be there and support us!
Joe did a beautiful job on the blessing. I loved that he talked about the significance of her names and how they would help shape her into a servant of the Lord.

Abigail means "Joy of the Father," and I love the story of Abigail from the Bible.
Grace is the divine help and strength that we receive through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Ellis means "Messenger of God."

Names are important because they remind us of who we are and what are responsibilities are, such as when we take the Sacrament and actually take the name of Christ upon us. Seeing this pure little baby made me so grateful for the Plan of Happiness our Father in Heaven has designed for us.





What a wonderful thing to celebrate with those that we love!
