Maggie's Blessing

We blessed Maggie last Sunday (February 5). It was a wonderful day, filled with the Spirit and family. I spent a few days last week reflecting on the past couple of months. I was amazed by the numerous lessons & reminders about the Lord's love & His hand in my life. Topics I have been studying in the scriptures for the last four months really came together last month. And I can't count the number of times I have been reminded just how involved the Lord is in my life & of His love for me. I know Maggie's sweet spirit helped invite those lessons & reminders.

Brendon gave Maggie a beautiful blessing. Among other things, Maggie was blessed to understand her divine identity & to be a light to others. She is already a light to our family. I love her sweet spirit. She already seems to have a lot of patience and a happy countenance.

We were so grateful for the family that was able to join us in celebration of Maggie. Grandpa Russell flew in from California & spent the weekend with us. It was a treat to have him here, especially for Henry. Brendon's brothers, Garen & Cody, live in Utah along with Brendon's aunt, Lori. I love the Holmes family & was grateful to have some of them here with us. My family was here, of course, & I enjoyed spending the day with them.

Man, I love family. I love my Gibson family, my Holmes family, & my little family. Reflecting on the last couple months has been another one of my "earth-life-is-so-cool" moments.
