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. |
Sister Elizabeth, by virtue of the holy priesthood I lay my hands upon thy head and ask God the Eternal Father for his spirit to rest upon thee and fill thee with the influence thereof, and give thee strength of body and mind, and make the equal unto every task, and strength and grace sufficient for thy day. Thou art of the house of Israel and entitled through obedience to the gospel to many blessings which thou shalt receive in the tribe of Ephraim, which was the lineage of thy forefathers for whom thou hast to do. Be of good cheer, for the Lord knoweth the secrets of thy heart and will reward thee for the trials through which thou hast passed, and thou shalt be blessed in the labor of thy hands and shall not lack for food, raiment, and shelter. Seek to do good and thou shalt have the spirit of counsel and be blessed in thine outgoings and incomings and thy basket and store. Thy table shall be spread with the bounties of the Earth and thou shalt impart unto the needy. Thou art numbered with the mothers in Israel and thy name shall be had in remembrance among the saints and written in the Lamb's book of life. Thy children shall be a comfort unto thee in thine old age. Therefore be of good cheer, for thy last days shall be thy best days. This with all thy former blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends. Even so, Amen. |
