The Power of Priesthood Blessings: Healing and Peace

Introduction:

Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, reminding us of the importance of faith, family, and the power of the priesthood. In recent times, our family has experienced firsthand the incredible blessings that come from the priesthood, strengthening our testimony in ways we never imagined.

A Battle with Illness:

It all started when I fell sick with a bout of diarrhea that lasted for four long days. It couldn't have come at a worse time - just as we were getting ready for Church. I was disappointed and disheartened, but little did I know that this experience would deepen my understanding of the power of the priesthood.

A Blessing of Wholeness:

In my time of need, my husband Royce gave me a blessing. He invoked the power of the priesthood, asking for the Lord's healing grace. While the healing didn't happen instantaneously, it came in God's perfect time. This experience strengthened my testimony of the priesthood and its power to provide comfort and healing.

The Blessing of Parenthood:

Now, as a mother, I find myself turning to the priesthood for guidance and help, not just for myself but for our precious son Kendrick Cornelio De la Cruz. One night, when Kendrick was inconsolable and I was at a loss, I sought Royce's help. Through the power of the priesthood, Royce provided a blessing of peace. Kendrick soon fell asleep for a remarkable three hours.

The Joys and Challenges of Motherhood:

Motherhood has its own set of joys and challenges. While sleepless nights are the norm, the moments we spend holding our baby in our arms are priceless. We cherish these moments, knowing that they will soon transform as our son grows and explores the world around him.

Conclusion:

Our journey through parenthood is just beginning, and we're grateful for the blessings of faith, family, and the power of the priesthood. Through the challenges and joys, we find strength and solace in our beliefs, knowing that we are not alone on this incredible adventure.

P.S.: Parenthood, with all its ups and downs, is a beautiful blessing we wouldn't trade for anything.

Kendrick's One-Month Celebration: A Slice of Happiness

Introduction:

Time has flown by, and our little bundle of joy, Kendrick Cornelio De la Cruz, has already celebrated his one-month milestone! In the midst of our joyful chaos, we found a delicious way to mark this special occasion—thanks to Yellow Cab and their mouthwatering pizzas.

A Pizza Extravaganza:

To celebrate Kendrick's first month with a bang, we decided to indulge in some delectable pizza from Yellow Cab. We couldn't resist the offer of an 18” New York's Finest pizza that came with a complimentary 10” New York Classic. It turned out to be a pizza bonanza that kept us well-fed throughout the day.

Pizza All Day, Every Day:

With so much pizza on our hands, we happily devoured it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a delightful treat that brought smiles to our faces. After all, who can resist the irresistible combination of cheesy goodness and a crispy crust?

Yellow Cab's Tenth-Year Celebration:

As if the pizza wasn't enough reason to celebrate, Yellow Cab was also marking its tenth year in style. To share the joy, they offered a 10” New York Classic pizza for free with every order of any 18” pizza on the 10th of every month.

Future Celebrations:

We enjoyed our pizza-filled celebration so much that we're already contemplating continuing this tradition for Kendrick's monthly milestones. Who wouldn't want to celebrate with a mouthwatering slice of pizza? 

Until Next Month:

As we look forward to the coming months with Kendrick, we're keeping our calendar marked for Yellow Cab's special pizza offer. Until next month's milestone, we'll cherish every moment with our little one, savoring both the sweetness of family and the deliciousness of pizza.

Teehee!

Kendrick's Blessing Day: A Heartwarming Celebration

Introduction:

One month has passed since Kendrick Cornelio De la Cruz joined our lives, bringing with him immeasurable joy and love. On a beautiful Sunday, we gathered at our cherished church with friends and family to celebrate Kendrick's naming and blessing. This was a momentous occasion that filled our hearts with warmth and spirituality.

A Blessed Gathering:

The church was not just a place of worship on this particular Sunday; it was a place where our extended family and friends gathered to witness and support us. The presence of our loved ones made the day even more special.

A Father's Blessing:

For Royce, this day held profound significance as he had the honor of blessing his own son. Standing in the circle alongside him were Bro. Ciro Lo, the 1st counselor in the Bishopric, and his brother Russell. It was a touching moment to see Kendrick, so peaceful and calm, as he was blessed.

A Loving Pause:

Though Kendrick threatened to cry, he didn't. Moments after the blessing, his need for nourishment and comfort became evident, and we stepped outside the sacrament hall to attend to him. It's moments like these that remind us of the tender responsibility of parenthood.

One Month of Love:

Time, as they say, has wings. It feels like only yesterday when Kendrick entered our lives, and yet he's already one month old. We've watched him grow and develop with wonder and amazement. His tiny presence has filled our days with laughter and love.

Sleeping Through the Night:

We're also beginning to notice changes in Kendrick's sleeping pattern. For the first time, he slept for a glorious three hours straight at night, giving us a glimpse of what the future might hold. While we know this pattern may change, we're savoring every moment of restful nights.

Heaven-Sent Love:

Kendrick Cornelio De la Cruz is undoubtedly heaven-sent. The love we feel for him is indescribable. Waking up in the middle of the night to tend to his needs is not a burden but a privilege. Every moment with him is a blessing we cherish.

As we reflect on Kendrick's naming and blessing day and his one-month milestone, we're filled with gratitude for the love and support of our friends and family. We're excited to continue this journey of parenthood, embracing each day with love and open hearts.
