These blessings I give . . .

Louis Edward Butler, 7 years old

As noted in a previous post, Grandma Mable was baptized in 1929. She was active in the Church from that time forward, and wanted her sons to be a part of the Church as well. In 1930, when Louis was 7 years old, she had him blessed in the church by a missionary who was serving in the area. Although Grandpa Jess did not join until 1932, he obviously did not oppose Mable's commitment as he recorded the blessing given to Louis.

We have no idea what he is drinking!

I was blessed as a child on March 19, 1930 by Elder Lambert M. Michie. My father made a copy of the blessing in his own writing and I have it here.

When we hear a Priesthood blessing given, we often think about the future and wonder how that blessing will be fulfilled. We know from Dad's life, that these simple words from so many years ago were inspired.

What a great legacy of faith and commitment we have as the Butler family!
