On Saturday, June 16th, little Landon Ray was sealed to his parents, Lisa & Barry Keime in the Gilbert, AZ Temple! It was a special day for all of us. Reed surprised Lisa and flew in from Dallas, TX
She cried happy tears! They are pretty thrilled with their family of 3!
Their little Lilly, the big sister now.
This is what Lisa said about their special day on Facebook.
Saturday
June 16, 2018 was a very special day for our little family. Our sweet
son, Landon Ray was sealed to us for all eternity in the Gilbert Az
Temple. We felt the spirit testify how much our Heavenly Father loves
our Landon and all His children. The ordinance was performed by Brother
Layton. He shared a story of his brother who had the opportunity to play
the part of Jesus for one of the very first Easter pageants at the Mesa
Temple. When the performance ended he was told
that a little girl wanted to “meet Jesus.” When he greeted the little
girl she leapt out of her mothers arms and threw her arms around him for
a long minute. Even though he was not really Jesus, that little girl
hugged him AS THOUGH he were! To her she was hugging Christ. Brother
Layton born testimony of the sacred and intentional words of the sealing
ordinance and the power they have to truly bind families together into
the eternities. My testimony again was strengthened that though I did
not bare my children they are absolutely mine. Landon’s Uncle Reed was
able to hold him at the alter which was super special because we didn’t
even know he was coming! He surprised me that morning. I was so happy he
was there and could share in the experience with us. Landon was very
calm and peaceful, he held his eyes open for a few min and fell asleep. I
watched his face and it was sweet and perfect and through the sacred
power of the priesthood he was sealed. My heart could burst for how much
I love him and how much I know he was meant to be my son. I am
eternally grateful for his birth mother who has a testimony of eternal
families, and also felt Landon was meant to be part of our family and
acted on and trusted those feelings. We love you. Though all our families
were not all able to make it and we missed them, it was a wonderful
humid rainy day shared with people we love. #eternalfamilies #adoption #familiesareforever #LRayKeime #sealingday #gilbertaztemple Barry Keime
