Sister Ellen in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head in order to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee which shall be as the spirit may invite. Therefore I say unto thee, prepare thy mind to receive the blessings which the Lord shall see fit to bestow upon thee. Thou art of the House of Israel and of the lineage of Ephraim and entitled to many blessings. Thou hast also as it were seen trials and afflictions, but nothing to compare with many of the saints. Thou hast also left thy nature land, kindred, and friends for the gospel's sake for which thou shalt receive thy reward if thou art faithful and do not forfeit these blessings through disobedience and carelessness. Therefore I say unto thee be upon thy guard and forget not to be humble and prayerful and thou shalt have the spirit of the Lord to be with thee day by day and guide thy footsteps and open the way before thee and thou shalt see better and happier days. The Lord knoweth the integrity of thy heart and will deal out blessings unto thee according as thou shalt merit. I say unto thee e of good cheer and let thy heart be comforted. Be not cast down in spirit but be buoyant with thee and thine, and thy children shall be a comfort to thee in thine old age and rise up and bless thee for the good counsel which thou hast given them. This blessing I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. Even so Amen. |
Dear Sister I lay my hands upon thy head and seal upon thy head a fathers blessing because thou hast no father in the Church to bless thee. As thou hast had a willing mind and obeyed from thy heart the fullness of the gospel and came into the New and Everlasting Covenant thou shalt be blessed with long life and every other blessing thy heart desireth in righteousness. Thou shalt have power to bring thy parents and friends into the kingdom and to bring up all thy dead friends in the first resurrection. Thou shalt have the priesthood sealed upon thee in common with thy companion. Thou shalt be able to heal the sick through faith, even thine own family, in the absence of thy companion. Thou shalt have the ministration of angels if thou wilt be faithful and sure with thy whole heart. Thou art a daughter of Abraham thru the loins of Judah. Thou shalt be satisfied with the riches of the Earth and shall partake of all the blessings sealed upon the head of thy companion. When he returneth from his mission he shall bring a great company, amongst them many of thy friends and relatives. Thou shalt earn an inheritance in Zion and shall be mistress of a large house and feed many saints. Thy children shall be numerous and thou shalt rejoice with them in Zion with thy companion when wickedness is swept from the face of the Earth. Thou shalt have every blessing thy heart desireth inasmuch as thou livest for them. Through thy liberality the hearts of man shall be made glad. I seal all these blessings upon thy head, and also seal thee up unto Eternal Life by the authority of the Priesthood in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. |
