A Blesssing given by W W Sterrett, Patriarch, to
Sarah Dorlesky Sterrett,
daughter of Simeon Sterrett and Emmie Harris
born April 22, 1899 at Cove, Idaho
My dear little grand daughter Dortha Sterrett, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and by virtue of my calling as patriarch. I place my hands upon your head and seal upon you a patriarchal blessing, and I say unto thee my dear child that thou has been highly favored of the Lord in having the privilege of taking a body upon the earth through goodly parents when the gospel in its fullness was again upon the earth.
Our Father has given His angels charge of thee and as thou art innocent and pure thou shalt be preserved from the powers of evil. Thou art of Israel through the loins of Ephraim and a lawful heir to all the blessings promised His children and thou hast been born through the new and ever lasting covenant, and thy name is written in the Lamb's book of Life and thou wilt live upon the earth to fill the full measure of thy creation, thou wilt live to become a mother in Israel and have a posterity of sons and daughters who will be mighty to take vengeance on the enemies of the Lord. Thy name will always be held in honor in Israel.
You will always have plenty of this worlds good, and have peace and comfort in your habitation and no one will ever be turned from your door hungry and you shall have the ministering angels and the gift of tongues will be given you. You will become one of the sweet singers of Israel and all the gifts and blessings of the Gospel will be yours for the asking. You will live to see the third generation of your children.
I seal these blessings of health and strength upon you. I seal you up unto eternal life, and have part in the first resurrection and receive a full and complete salvation and exaltation with all your father's house. According to your faithfulness I seal all this upon you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
