Blessings from above

Dad, Pat, and Mom just came by to give me a blessing before heading into the rest of the treatments today which include an m.r.i. and fitting for a mask that holds the head in place during radiation.

It was such a blessing to feel the faith of my older brother and father during the blessing. Its interesting that during a blessing, things are conveyed on many levels. We hear words, we feel their power in our hearts and our minds seek to store them for future recall when needing a boost in faith. What a blessing to have the gospel in our lives.

Its hard to watch the concern on the faces of family and friends. But its comforting to know that their feelings are born of the deep relationship we have had from since before coming to this world. When I see these expressions, I can't help but feel that Heavenly Father feels similar feelings and knows the thoughts and desires of our hearts. I feel as ready as possible.

I think of the words of Todd Beamer, one of the brave men who stopped the terrorists from flying that last jet into the white house. Just before carrying out their counter attack, Todd can be heard to say: "Let's Roll"
