Clover's Blessing

At the start of October we decided to take a family trip to Boise, Idaho. We wanted to visit with family and friends, and while we were there, we decided to host a little get-together and Jim's Aunt Nona's, and bless Clover.

We had most of our Boise Callister family come, as well Jared and Audie Jacobs with their children, and our friends, the Hallings. 

Jim smoked pork shoulder and made yummy pulled pork sandwhiches. Other people brought sides and desserts, and it ended up being a lovely little event. 

I posted a few pictures below:






















Hunter and Allie (below) have an arranged married. I'm pretty sure they're on board since they "got married" to each other while we were visiting in Boise. They're so cute. I really do hope it works out for them! :)












Jim blessed Clover on Sunday, October 4th at Aunt Nona's house in Boise. The blessing is below:

Our Father in Heaven, by the power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood which we hold, we hold this infant in our arms, and give her a name and a blessing. The name that she will be known on the records of the church is Clover Valentine Jacobs. Clover, at this time we give you a blessing that you will be healthy and strong. Our Father in Heaven wants you to know how much you are loved, and as you are here with your family members and friends, please know that you have good influences and examples all around you. Follow those examples throughout your life. 

Your name is synonymous with luck and with love. We’re lucky to have you in our home, and you’re in a home full of love. Your brother and sister love you very much, and they’re going to be good examples to you throughout your life. We know that if you follow their example and guidance, you’ll be blessed. 

We bless you with a strong conscience, that you’ll be able to choose the right paths. Know that when you choose the right paths, it will lead you to freedom. And as our leaders have said, and talked about in conference this day, the right paths lead to better choices, and better freedoms, which will lead you into eternal life. 

Your Father in Heaven loves you very much, as does your family, and we will always be there for you. We bless you with strength, health, and the ability to grow in the gospel. We bless you with all these things, and say them in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
