Feeling loved

I feel so grateful today for the amazing people in my life. You all make Michigan a great home away from home for us. Your kind acts of service toward me and my family make my heart swell. You were an answer to my silent prayers today. Thank you to the lady who put my baby to sleep and held him during the last hour of church. Thank you to the young man (12 yr old) who helped me carry a baby to the car when my arms were totally full. Thank you to my church family for your friendship and love. Thanks to the sweet nurses at my husbands work who always seem happy to see us and shower my children with love. Love you all.

We give you a name and a blessing.

Isabella Marie Longenecker, your Mother’s have chosen this name for you.

You came before you were ready to come into the world and have made progress since that time.

I bless you from the crown of your head to your feet that you will continue to develop.

As you have faith and seek to learn about your father in Heaven and Jesus Christ you will come to know and understand them and your purpose on Earth.

The Holy Ghost will reveal sweet truths to your heart.

You were blessed with a special gift that your Mother and I fell in love with you the moment we saw you.  You will have that same effect on many hearts.

Those you come in contact with will feel the love of the Savior and Heavenly Father.  Never cease to use this gift.

Use good books, especially the scriptures.  As you study and pray you will understand.

Never cease studying and learning.

You are surrounded by a family who loves the Savior.  Your Mother will counsel you in correct ways.  Always listen to your Mother and have courage to make correct decisions. Your parents and priesthood holders will counsel you in a correct way.

When the time comes you will have the desire to serve however the Lord calls you.
