This was a big day. Ben, having turned 12, was ordained with the Aaronic Priesthood. This means he will serve by passing the Sacrament and collecting Fast offerings. It feels like a big moment to me as a mom. My son is moving into a whole new world. Really leaving his child child hood and entering into a middle aged childhood. HAHA.
We were so blessed to have two set of grandparents who were able to come show their support on this pivotal day in Ben's life. I often reflect on how thankful I am for these two sets of wonderful grandparents.
I love this picture most of all. It shows what fine examples Ben has in his life as he strives to keep covenants and serve in his priesthood duties faithfully. He loves these men in his life. I know he admires them.
I am really so proud of Ben. He is a normal boy who does normal boy things. Yet, even as he teases his sisters, hates homework and argues at every turn....I know what's most important to him. He has a deep love and loyalty to his family and God. He is honest and good. He is loving and kind. He is strength to our family and great example to his younger siblings. Love ya Benjamin. :)
