[Patriarchal Blessings] Patriarchal Blessing of Roxanna Freeman given by Joseph Smith, Sr. on December 5, 1837...

Thou shalt be of the Covenant of Abraham - thou art of his blood - thou hast been united to Kindred blood - this is the reason why thou art blest and why Children are blest - thou dost belong to that blood which God delighted to own and bless - thy Children shall belong to the Covenant - that shall hear them Prophecy of the great things to come, some of them shall be seers - Thou hast left some of thy kindred flesh behind, thou shalt hear thy Children Prophecy on the day when thy distant friends shall come unto thee Covenant - Thou and thy Posterity shall be guests at that Portal which the Saviour shall preside, at his comeing -

If thou wilt exercise faith in God, and in his word, thou shalt stand in the flesh at that time - standing in the presence of the Holy ones - Yea with the sanctified ones on Mount Zion in the presence of the Lamb. I dont say unto thee Sister, but that thou mayest full- Yet thou shalt stand, in the flesh with thy Saviour, when he shall Preside at that great and last feast ...
