It was finally time for Hudson's baby blessing on Sunday, March 3rd, 2019. To be honest it was a bittersweet day for me. I was sad that my parents weren't able to physically be at his blessing. They had been at each of my other children's blessings and I really felt their absence on Hudson's special day. However, we were blessed to have Jason's parents and my sisters Tami, Lara, and Tasha and their families join us for this special occasion. And I'm sure my parents were there in spirit for their littlest grandchild's special moment!
He definitely looked handsome in his little blessing outfit!
I took those three little buttons up near his collar from my Dad's white church shirt and sewed them onto Hudson's outfit. I wanted to have a piece of my Dad present in the circle during his blessing.
The kids were all so excited to share this special day with their little brother!
All those who came to Hudson's blessing...it was quit the group!!
I was so thankful to have my three sisters there for this special day!
Those who were in the blessing circle...Darrell Call (Grandpa), Jason Call (Dad), and Brian Neal (Friend).
Oldest and youngest grandchild...Chloe (21) and Hudson (3 months)!
Blessing
of Hudson David Call
(March 3, 2019 Hagerstown Ward given by Bishop Jason Darrell
Call, Father. Others in the circle were
Darrell Call, grandfather, and Brian Neal, 2nd counselor in the
bishopric.)
Our Father in Heaven, in the
name of Jesus Christ and by the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood, we
take this infant in our arms to give him a name and a blessing. And the name
which he shall be known upon the records of the church is Hudson David Call. And
Hudson at this time we give you a blessing that you might have a healthy body
that will allow you to serve your Father in Heaven and your brothers and
sisters while you are here on the earth. We bless you with an understanding of
the gospel and the desire to follow the teachings of your Savior. We bless you
that as you strive to be obedient to those things that your parents and church
leaders will invite you to do, that you will receive an outpouring of the gift
of the Holy Ghost and you will recognize the truthfulness of the gospel and of
your Savior’s love for you. We bless you with the ability to reach out and help
those who are hurting and have individual pains and that through your talents
you might be able to witness your Savior’s healing power helping them heal
their wounds and return to activity in the church. We bless you with the Gift
of Charity, a testimony that you are a child of God and loved by your Father in
Heaven and these things we bless you with in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
( A side note is that Dadra,
Hudson’s mother added three little white buttons, from Grandpa Don Cleveland’s
white shirt, to Hudson’s blessing outfit. This was done in memory of him)
