Newel Knight recorded a remarkable blessing upon his wife Sally. Three months after their marriage in 1825, Newel and Sally's firstborn child did not live, and their second child was also stillborn. Doctors of the time did not think Sally would ever bear a living child. However, through a priesthood blessing, Sally was able to bear living children and establish a family. This miraculous reversal of medical impossibility demonstrated the power of priesthood blessings and faith to overcome natural limitations.
