Brother Amos, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee which shall be a guide and a comfort unto thee in time to come, for thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and an heir to the blessing of the New and Everlasting Covenant with the gifts promised to the sons of Zion among whom thou art numbered. Be prudent and seek to know the will of the Lord, for it is thy privilege to become a mighty man in Israel. Therefore, seek to inform thy mind and be diligent in doing good, and the vision of thine understanding shall be opened and thy faith shall increase, and thou shalt comprehend things past, present, and to come, and thy voice shall be heard in defense of the truth among the nations of the Earth. Many shall seek thee for counsel and rejoice in thy teachings. Notwithstanding the finger of scorn may be pointed at thee and the wicked lay snares for thy feet, no power shall prevail against thee as long as thou art in the discharge of thy duty. Thou shalt be prospered in thy journeyings at home or abroad and in thy labors spiritually and temporally. Thy day and years shall be according to thy faith and the desires of thy heart. Thou shalt fill up the measure of thy creation and thy name shall be honorable in the land. Thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, cheer up the bowed down, and cause the fatherless to rejoice, and of thy faith fail not. Thou shalt preside over a stake in Zion and thou shalt be numbered hereafter with the fathers in Israel who shall receive their inheritance among the saints. 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 a saviour in thy father's house. Even so, Amen. |
Sister Elizabeth, by virtue of the holy priesthood I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted, therefore be of good faith and of good cheer, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions, is pleased with thine integrity, and will reward thee through which thou has past. Thou hast forsaken thine kindred and friends for the sake of salvation. Continue faithful and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and as a mother in Israel thy name shall be handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thou art of Ephraim. Thine inheritance is among the saints. Thy days and years shall be according to thy faith. Seek wisdom, that the blessing of the Lord may attend thee. It is thy privilege to council among thy sex, and to call them to faithfulness, that peace may be in thy circle. Listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter, for thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear, give thee strength in time of trial, and power over evil and unclean spirits, and thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, and comfort the hearts of the bowed down. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection a savior among thy kindred and friends. Even so, amen. |
