  1. @Mores - Thank you for your response! I apologize for my lack of specificity when referring to the Blessing. - You are absolutely correct in that it would be in conjunction with the confirmation not the actual Baptism itself. I was in a bit of a rush when I typed it and should have been more clear. I must admit that the problem must be between my ears because the response you gave to me on the phrasing is very similar to those that I have received in the past. @NeuroTypical - I also appreciate your help with the links to the Handbooks. I have read it through but continue to get tripped up by this. When giving a blessing you are supposed to share impressions/promptings that you feel from the Spirit, correct? Not a laundry list of things that you hope that the individual will receive/experience/become. Is it because it is supposed to be the Will of the Lord that "The Lord wants you to know that you will make a full recovery" becomes the same as "We Bless you that you will make a full recovery"? I'm sorry to seemingly ask the same questions, but for me I feel them as different things and therefore I worry that one is correct while the other is not...
  2. So I have never posted in a forum like this so I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong place. I have always struggled with understanding the kind of phrasing that I should use when giving blessings (I don't give very many) and was hoping someone could offer some help. Hopefully I can articulate this well enough to make sense. When giving a blessing am I speaking for the Lord - i.e. "The Lord wants you to know that you will make a full recovery" or is just like when praying and we ask for blessing on people - "We Bless you that you will make a full recovery"? I've tried talking to both my Dad and my EQ President about my confusion and either they are unsure or I simply manage to confuse them during our conversations. I am blessed to be able to Baptize my son and I know towards the end I can give him a blessing but I'm terrified that it will sound super awkward or out of place! Thank you in advance for your help and patience!
