back to school blessings

My little boy starts Kindergarten tomorrow. I am overwhelmed with joy, excitement for him, fear of letting him enter the world or public school, and hope that he will enjoy every bit of learning. Randy gave Mason and Maryn father's blessings tonight and I was amazed to see how Mason responded to the spirit. He was filled with such joy, He didn't know what to do with himself. He said he felt happy and was so excited to have a blessing. He also said he knows a blessing is special and thought it was so cool. He even tried to put his hands on me...so cute. It fills my heart with joy seeing the happiness in his face. He gave Randy the biggest hug-wrapping his legs and arms around him. It brought a huge smile to Randy's face. Randy was going to wait until Maryn started school in a week and a half, but he couldn't. She wanted to have it done just like Mason. She sat very still and stared at me and Mason the whole time...except for the time she almost got up (she is only 3). She was very happy it was done and was happy to be apart of this experience. Even though she didn't listen to the words you could tell she was feeling the spirit and I love that. Both blessings spoke of my  children being a leader and an example. It starts so young, but it is who they are, and I love them for it. As it is stated in the scriptures there was rejoicing. For our little family tonight. There was much rejoicing in the spirit, It was felt through peace, love, and happiness. The feeling you get when you can't control yourself and just want to jump for joy. I feel that is what Mason was feeling. I am so blessed to have a loving worthy priesthood holder in my home and to give my children a blessing at anytime. I am so happy for spirit and that it dwells in my home and my children can feel it and I get to help them recognize it. I love Randy so much. I love my children. I love my Savior Jesus Christ who made it possible so I can have these experiences....Thank you!
