Tonight, our very wonderful home teacher came by to check on us. It is the day after a nasty phone call from Jay and so it was nice to have the priesthood in our home. But after some discussions and some thoughts and suggestions from him and then a blessing for Rachel to help her start the school year, he felt impressed to dedicate our home.
We have NEVER lived in a dedicated home. Jay never used the power of his priesthood for things like that. It was difficult to get him to give a blessing at all. I understand why now; he knew he wasn't really worthy. So our home was without that special blessing for a long time.
So in his prayer, the moment he spoke the words that he dedicated our home, Rachel and I both began to cry. For those who are not members of the church, this meant that a blessing and prayer was placed over our home - to keep us and it safe, to have the Holy Spirit within these walls, to bless us with peace and happiness here. The powerful Spirit that was present nearly took my breath away and I am so grateful to Doug for his sweet words and how in tune he is with the Spirit that he was able to realize our need and offer to remedy it. What a calm and good feeling dwells within the walls of our home tonight.
Thank you, Doug, for being the wonderful person you are. Cheri is a very lucky woman.
