Father's Blessings

One of the things I loved growing up was receiving a Father's blessing at the beginning of every school year.  I remember how it felt to sit in the chair when it was my turn and feel my dad's hands on my head as he gave a blessing of counsel and encouragement specifically for me.  I looked forward to that special time each year and wanted to carry that tradition into our family.  So at the beginning of each school year, we have a Family Home Evening devoted to giving Father's blessings.  Hopefully it's something that our children will look forward to as well.
