Blessing from our Father

Many Saints out there may have memories of their blessings by their fathers before the school year starts or when they are sick. Others may be more like me who do not have the unique blessing of having a priesthood holder within the household. Others may have had it at one point but dont anymore. No matter what your situation is you  can receive blessings from your father in heaven. He is the father to all of us. No matter who administers the blessing it comes from out Father above. Weather it is a health blessing or a baby blessing or even a blessing done within the temple, our Heavenly Father knows our individual circumstances and connects to us individually through blessings. I had recently suffered from a concussion that kept me in my house for a month. I was unable to go to school or even function properly. It was to the point where I was getting ill and not improving. After many doctors visits and no improvement I was days away from being put on an experimental drug that my doctor was even scared to give me. I was informed that there were signs of permanent damage and I was scared. I was unable to attend church for a while without leaving rather early and felt uncomfortable asking Heavenly Father for help. I was awkward and afraid to ask my Bishop and close friend for help. He had done so much for me already and I didnt know enough about blessings to ask for one. I prayed and prayed for a week for knowledge to know what to do and courage to ask. The following Sunday I attended the first part of sacrament meeting. I was feeling rather weak and contemplating no going at all but the small still voice inside me told me to go. I mustered up all the strength I had and went. Before the meeting started the Bishop sat next to me. He asked to see me in his office after the meeting. For some reason I got scared and remembered the horror stories of when i was little and people were called into the priests office. it was never good. Then I remembered what church I belonged to and who had asked me and felt calm. Anxious to see what the Bishop wanted and rehearsing how I would bring up the subject of blessings I patiently sat through the meeting anxiously awaiting our talk. By the time the meeting ended I ran to the seat out side of his office and within a few minutes was called in. To my surprise he asked me is he could talk to me about blessings. My eyes started to tear wit joy that my Father in heaven had prompted this righteous man to answer my prayers. I agreed right away and him and two other priesthood holders began to teach me about blessings. Thy taught me about how the blessing was from God and they were mere instruments. They explained how they give the blessings and how they work out in their own ways.  They taught me how the spirit guides them to give me advice and allows them to administer the will of the lord weather it be to heal me or comfort me.Then the blessing came. My head had been pounding from the bright lights and loud speakers. I had done too much thinking in such a short time. Once the blessing stop it was like my mind went numb. There was no more pain and everything had become clear. I could feel the hands upon my head like they were familiar even though I had just met them a few minutes earlier. I listened closely and carefully to what they had to say and felt the spirit strongly. It has been weeks since that blessing. I have not had one symptom since. The doctors tested me again as a follow up and I passed with flying colors. I astounded them and they did not believe the results so the retested me a few days later. I passed again. They called it nothing short of a miracle. The permanent damage turned out to be gone as well. I know that it was the blessing and to this day am so grateful that the priesthood is on the earth today and that our Father in Heaven loves us enough to give us access to it. I know that God answers prayers and will never forget this experience. I hope everyone no matter what their situation seeks help in their times of trials with faith.
