Blessing

Today our Bishop set Braxton apart as the President of the Deacon quorum. I was so touched by that blessing. He told him that Brax is a leader, that he is an example and that his friends, quorum, siblings, and even his parents look up to him and will follow his example. Bishop counseled Brax to study the scriptures and to pray always and he will go far in this life. He told him that if Braxton wants to accomplish many great things that he needs to always stay close to the Lord. Listening to these words from our Bishop brought tears to my eyes. The Lord knows Braxton! He loves him! He knows exactly what is in Braxton's heart and dreams and the Lord is giving him the direction he needs in order to achieve those dreams! I was so honored to sit in a room full of worthy Priesthood members, each with their hand on Braxton's head, and hear those words from the Lord through our wonderful Bishop! After the blessing Braxton got up, shook every one of their hands and gave me a hug. The Bishop told Brax that he was proud of him for giving his mom a hug:) I am so proud of this boy and am excited about the young man he is becoming! It is so hard to believe that he is growing up so quickly! We love you more than you will ever know Brax! Remember to always stay close to your Heavenly Father and with Him in your life, the possibilities are endless!
