On Sunday, February 1st, at two and a half months old, sweet baby Mack was blessed by his dad with his Grandpa Greg, Papa, Great Grandpa Barfuss, and Uncles Todd, Jason, and Kevin in the circle.
It was such a special day filled with joy and love. I was counting my blessings all day long and felt so grateful to have this precious baby in our home. (I should probably clarify that I am grateful to have him in our home every day, but the blessing day was even more so.)
Our little family is expanding and it is so much fun. Every time we have had a new baby, my heart has grown and the love in our house has multiplied. It is crazy, chaotic, and loud, but the good always outweighs the hard in the end.
Some things that Mack was blessed with:
A family who loves him and is excited to have him.
Love from his Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
He will come to know God and the Savior through his faith and obedience.
He will use his agency wisely and his most important use of agency thus far was his choice to come to earth.
He will learn to recognize the voice of the spirit and shun evil.
He will be a good brother - kind and loving.
He will have a desire to learn - both secular and spiritual learning.
He will have a desire to serve a mission and will find joy in sharing the gospel.
He will go to the temple and be sealed to a worthy companion and will need to keep himself worthy.
The spirit was so strong and I was overwhelmed by the blessed life that we live. I'm so grateful for the men in our lives who gave him such a sweet blessing and for all the family who were part of Mack's special day.
This little boy is definitely a gift from heaven and we are so grateful for him!
