Lucy, a woman living in Utah, describes an experience on Fast Day where she, along with others, presented her infant son to be blessed. She notes that the blessing given by her husband, Joseph, was as much inspired by the spirit of the Lord as it was by the spirit of fatherhood.
In Their Own Words
“Two months after, you would have been amused on Fast Day to have seen me, along with half-a-dozen others all having babies to be blessed. The Bishop told Joseph to bless ours, which he did. It was inspired as much by the spirit of the Lord as by the spirit of fatherhood. — Millennial Star 62:31”
