Ruby was blessed by her daddy on January 9th in Kaysville. We decided to do it on a Saturday this time so our family didn't have to travel Sunday. It actually turned out to be really nice. I think I'll keep with that tradition if I ever have to do it again. We sang a hymn, did the blessing, Ben and I bore our testimonies, and we had lunch and visiting with our family. It turned out great. Ruby wore the same outfit me and all my girls were blessed in with a pink ribbon, her birth color. My mom bought her some shiny ruby slippers too. She looked beautiful.
"Our Father in Heaven, by the authority of the mel priesthood, which we hold, we bring this infant before Thee to give her a name and a blessing. The name which she shall be known throughout her life and upon the records of the church shall be Ruby Eloise Marett. Ruby we bless you at this time that as you go throughout your life you will have the strength of the Holy Ghost to be your guide and your companion as you live worthily. We bless you that you will look to your family for examples, especially those of your family who you are named after, that you will learn from their strength and their work ethic. Ruby, we bless you that you will feel the love of your family and the love of your Heavenly Father, that you will be able to create strong family ties and draw strength from that throughout your life. We bless you that you will have wisdom to follow the gospel and seek after the things that are most important in life.We bless you also that you will be happy and do all those things that your Heavenly Father would have you do. These blessings we give you and any others that you may seek and that your Father in Heaven would bestow upon you, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
