No one there dressed up in the slightest. Gramps nailed it though. “I will, whenever possible, put on a white shirt and a tie to give a priesthood blessing. To me this is one way of showing that I hold a deep reverence for the priesthood.”

Our sunday best if possible. Bur even better, our life’s best. An individual who shows by the works of his life just what it is that he truly believes in. Someone who is a son of God, a husband, a father, a follower of our redeemer Jesus the Christ. Someone who without so saying is all of these things so deeply that it would never occur to him to need to talk about how he regards his priesthood but in addition wants to show his respect by putting on a tie (if possible).

That would be a man who we would like to get a blessing from!

Other times it’s because there’s a shortage of time or he doesn’t have the ability to change clothes.

The blessings still come from a worthy man striving to be what God wants him to be, with the proper authority. I think that’s what matters.
