Oh Blessed Day


Today, baby received a name and a blessing from his father, Sterling David Horne.  Upon the records of the Church and throughout his life, he will be known as William Ramon Horne.  William was blessed in the same outfit and snuggled in the same blanket that Sterling was blessed and snuggled in.

The Sterling Horne Family
"Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children.  'Children are an heritage of the Lord' (Psalm 127:3).  Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love an serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live.   

The Joel Horne Family
"Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.  


The Alvarez and Chandler Families
"Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.  


Ramon Alvarez, Barry Alvarez, Sterling Horne, Joel Horne and Larry Chandler all stood in the circle to bless little William.
"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness..."
(The Family - A Proclamation to the World)

What a beautiful day, and what a wonderful blessing it was to see my first born son bless his first born son.  My joy is full.
