Kyla's Blessing

I realized I haven't written about Kyla's Blessing. She was blessed October 12th in Kennesaw ward. We would have done it in our own ward (Kennesaw Mountain) but they were having Stake Conference that weeknd, and it was important to have her blessed on the 12th because my mom was in town and I wanted her to be there to see her blessed.

Seth blessed her along with Grandpa McLeod, Corey McLeod, Jeff James, Jon Thayer, Dan Scherer, Stephen Futral, Jake Stewart. Ethan was part of it by hold the mike for Seth to speak into.

Seth asked for many blessings for her in her life, but the own that stuck out to me the most was the blessing of service. In today's world, people (in general, not all) expect some kind of reward for giving service, instead of just giving to give. I thought for Seth to ask for her to give service was amazing, and I hope that as her parents we can teach her to give service without wanting anything in return.

When she recieved the blessing she was quiet not a peep. Her dress was beautiful my mother-in-law made it for her, and she looked beautiful!

After the blessing and sacrament Seth Kyla, Grandma Butler, and I went home, to get everything ready for the luncheon.

We had a luncheon for family and friends that helped with Blessing Kyla. That day was a beautiful day and I am so grateful for the church that we were able to bless her and that she is known.

**on a side note** We are so blessed for the family and friends we have here in our area. I am so happy that I have friends with babies, so I am not home all day by myself but have girls to have play dates with. I am so grateful for the examples that my friends are to me, and how talented they all are, with the various skills they have. I am grateful for Seth's family being so close and how wonderful they are to me and my family.
