Devon Receives his Patriarchal Blessing

(This post is really for personal posterity

but I didn't want to leave out such a special moment in Devon's life)

Today was a very special day for Devon and his parents.  On Sunday, July 22, 2012 at  11:30 a.m. (Mark's Birthday) today Devon met with Patriarch Charles at the Crestwood Stake Center to receive his Patriarchal Blessing.  It was the most beautiful blessing -  There really isn't much I can post about the actual events, except to say it was just one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. It was such an amazing blessing to witness. I felt so privileged to hear the words be pronounce upon him.

He is so prepared (inside and out)

Mark and Betsy with Devon on his special day

It was such a special day that Betsy wanted a photo to remember the feelings we had as we left the Stake Center. I hope Devon will read and re-read his blessing several times throughout his life. He is so blessed and loved by the Lord.

It was absolutely one of the very best moments of my life!
