Child As we faithfully pay our tithes, the Lord will indeed open the windows of heaven and pour us out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. I want each of you to know, and especially my children and grandchildren, that I know, as my grandfather did, that if you always pay an honest tithing, the Lord will bless you. It will be the best investment you will ever make. Sheldon F. Child blessingheavenchildren If God loves us enough to send us Prophets, then we need to love Him enough to follow them. Sheldon F.

We make covenants as we enter into the temple, and in return we receive the promised blessings of eternal life-if we keep those sacred covenants. Sheldon F. Child blessingnamespeople
