LESSON LIFESAVER Activity
Special Blessing Journal
Suggest to youth that they obtain a priesthood blessing from their father, or home teacher or bishop (holding the Melchizedek priesthood holder*). This is nice at the beginning of a school year or when extra help is needed.
While youth are having this special blessing, have someone write down the blessing so that youth can fill in their Special Blessing Journal, recording words spoken and their thoughts of that special blessing from Heavenly Father.
*See Handbook on Priesthood Blessings.

Have young women share their feelings on the power they have felt from a blessing and the words of wisdom gathered from that special blessing.
FATHER OR BISHOP’S VIEW: Ask several fathers and the bishop or members of the bishopric to share their experiences in giving blessings.
