One of the traditions that was started for me as a child, and we have continued with my children is birthday prayers. Every year that I can remember, I would either sit in my Dad's lap, or sit near my Dad. Then, my Dad would place his hands on my head, and offer a prayer of blessing and guidance. I would always look forward to these prayers. We have been fortunate to continue these with our two children on their birthdays.
Another thing that I am very thankful my husband is able to do for me are blessings. Since Tim has the Melchizedek priesthood, he is able to confer blessings to others when they ask. Most of the time, they are either for healing or comfort. Tim does not know what he's going to say prior to placing his hands on the recipient's head. He has said that it's like getting a direct line from God, and says what God tells him to at that point. Once the blessing is completed, the direct line stops. Whenever I have received blessings from my husband, it has always been on something that I needed guidance or support wise. I look forward to my boys growing up to be able to do the same for others. I know they have been helpful to me.
