Parents' Hand Blessing "...These hands, your hands, will be there to guide your baby. Your hands will clap when she takes her first steps, when she has a dance recital or basketball game, whenever she has success in the areas that she loves. Your hands will button her sweaters, they will brush her hair and they will wipe her tears. Your hands will be imprinted on her memory for her lifetime. And so we will pour this blessing water upon them...." |
Grand Parents Bless Baby"Your Grandparents represent the line of Ancestors who have brought you to this day. May you always enjoy running into their arms and may you have ears to hear the wisdom they will share with you."
