Default Blessing a Home

Is there an actual ordinance for blessing a home? I seem to remember some mention of it in an EQ lesson a few years ago on how to do other ordinances, but I can't remember.

Has anyone ever blessed their home? Or is that passé now?

I don't see it listed here

This link gives a basic pattern on how to do priesthood ordinances. IMO, blessing a home is not that much different than dedicating a grave. I've only blessed our first of three homes.

Whether or not it is really necessary to do, it might be of value for your kids to see you exercise your priesthood and emphasize the importance of the home and how it should be a place where the Spirit can dwell.

If you can get your hands on a Melchizedek priesthood lesson manual circa about ten years ago, you will find some instruction on it.

Yeah, I remember that. It was very handy to have the ordinances in the manual. I wonder why they discontinued that practice.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
