Blessing Tess

It's January 23rd, and before the month is over I need to share the highlight of the month... on Sunday, January 2nd, Nick and Chelsea blessed their beautiful daughter, Tess.  It was a very special day!  Tess was perfect as she was surrounded by her father, grandfathers and uncles! Nick gave her a name and a beautiful blessing! He blessed her with a kind manner, with mental, spiritual and physical strength and to be able to overcome illness.  He blessed her with an open heart and an open mind and the ability to judge people by their hearts and not by their outward appearance.  She was blessed to be an example to her friends so that they will come to her for help and for counsel.  She was blessed to find a worthy companion who could take her to the temple where they could be sealed for eternity. Lastly, Nick blessed  Tess to know that she can always come to her family for help, support and love and that she would  know how proud her parents are of her and how much she is loved.
Grandchildren really are one of the Lord's greatest gifts! Tess and Steele James are both blessed with wonderful parents! It is pure joy watching your children become parents and start families of their own!
