Mary Ellen in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to give you a Patriarchal Blessing. The Lord thy God has seen the sincerity of thy heart. He has brought thee through many trials and afflictions and because thou hast been patient through thine afflictions thou hast laid up much treasures in heaven. I bless thee and prophesy over thee that thy last days shall be thy best days. Thy children's children shall be a great blessing unto thee in thy old age and thou shall never lack the good things of life. Because thou art of royal blood of Ephraim, Apostles and Prophets shall dine at thy table, and I say unto thee thy children's children shall walk in thy steps, and I say unto thee thou shall live to see and hear thy sons proclaim the Everlasting Gospel of Peace. For thou art one of that number that kept thy first estate and I say dear sister pray to thy Father in Heaven in mighty prayer and thou shall live to see these blessings fulfilled and thy spirit shall rejoice.
I bless thee with long life and good health. Thy faith is great before the Lord. Thou feelest lonely many times. The angels of God are round about thee. They shall never forsake thee nor leave thee, for thou art sure of Eternal Life in the Kingdom of God. Thou shalt be blessed with Thrones, Principalities and powers. I seal upon thy head power to come forth in the first resurrection. I seal thee up unto Eternal Life. Even so Amen.
