This is my first time contributing to the blog so you might have to bare with me. I decided to write this post because I was the only eye witness to the events that inspired it. So without further adieu here's the story of the week!
One morning this week Jay decided to wake up at 5:50 a.m. Trying to keep him occupied while his mother slept in the front room (next to Carly's bed), I brought Jay into our bedroom. After entertaining him for ten minutes or so, my own tiredness caught up to me and I found myself laying face first on the bed. Believing that his father was in some sort of distress, Jay got onto the bed, placed his hands on my head, and said the following: "Bless daddy that he will feel better, name of Jesus Christ, Amen." I really didn't know how to respond. We're not really sure where he learned about blessings. The only time he has been present for one was when Monte and I gave Darbie a blessing about 3 weeks ago. He must of have remembered it (like he does everything else) but I am surpised that he caught what the blessing was for. After all, he was probably running around screaming at the time.
Anyway, that wasn't the final "miracle" performed by our little faith healer. During that day, Jay proceed to give a blessing to Darbie, Carly, and yes, even himself. We are happy that he has picked up the concept, but we should probably have some sort of FHE leason about blessings before Jay begins to offer them to the other kids on the playground.

That is the neatest "story of the week"! It is so surprising what our children see and remember when we think they are not paying attention!! How blessed Jay is to be raised in a righteous home! The gospel is SO wonderful!!!
I love it! That kid is something else. I'm trying to imagine Chad in that moment, half-asleep, as he realized what was going on. We miss being close to you guys and seeing Jay grow up. Hope you are all doing well.
Ha, ha, excellent story.
But with all due respect, and I say this as a friend, Chad, I will never, ever, ever, ever "bare" with you.
I love hearing stories like these. It is a wonderful testament to you, Chad, as a Father whom Jay watched perform a blessing and to Darbie who asks for one. Its great to know that our children pick up on good examples. The Faith of little children...
