Sister *****, in the name of Jesus Christ and by virtue of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, I lay my hands upon your head to give you a Patriarchal Blessing.

Marvelous are the blessings that are yours. You were born of goodly parents, who gave you kind counsel, advice and direction. You are richly blessed of your Heavenly Father, not only in that He gave you mortal life in this goodly land but even more so because you are a literal descendant of the House of Ephraim and are heir to all of his blessings, as also to the blessings bestowed upon Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. This heritage is the greatest blessing you could possibly have received.

Your Heavenly Father has blessed you with health and strength. He has blessed you with His holy spirit. He has given you guidance and direction and has prompted you in your daily activities. The Holy Ghost is your constant companion.

You have enjoyed the years your Heavenly Father has given you in this His chosen vineyard. You have been a blessing to many of His children. He loves you for your labors, devotion and effort you have put forth in His behalf. Your lamp is filled with oil, thus your cup runneth over with the blessings of life and salvation.

You are enjoying contentment and happiness in the labors you are pursuing and in the tasks you are accomplishing. Continue serving your Heavenly Father in His Holy House. Your efforts will be crowned with joy and satisfaction. He will be at your side and direct you in obtaining the information you are yet seeking in order to accomplish the ends you are pursuing. You will be able to unite the various family groups and have the pleasure and the satisfaction of having them sealed unto each other. When the time comes that your Heavenly Father shall call you back into His presence, great will be your joy in the reunion with your loved ones.

Be ever prayerful, unburden your soul and impart your innermost desires and wishes to your Heavenly Father. He will thus give you the counsel and advice you may be seeking. As you advance in age, many may feel it their privilege to offer you counsel. Do not be hasty in your decisions, ponder them in your heart. Seek the counsel and advice of your Heavenly Father. When you have received peace and comfort of the soul you will know what you should do. You can then with assurance give answer and feel that your Heavenly Father is sanctioning the decisions you may make. During your declining years you must seek His help in all your decisions and He will grant you peace of mind, joy, comfort and the friendship and association with those who are desirous of your well-being and protection.

I seal you to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection, crowned with glory, immortality and eternal life, to be co-heir with your Heavenly Father in all that He commands and a glorious reunion with your loved ones in the Celestial Kingdom. Unto this end I do bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer and Saviour, Amen.
