Alice Gifford - Page,
AZ The Young Women Connection
(8/8/1999) In
preparation for school we measure the "growth" of our children and make
a new mark on the wall. It is always fun to see their physical growth.
Afterwards my husband gives them a "father's blessing" to help not only
in their intellectual growth but also in their spiritual growth. The
children are old enough now that they really look forward to this time.
Suggest that the YW ask their father for a blessing. If there is not a
priesthood holder in the home, contact the home teachers for the YW and
suggest that they call and offer to give a blessing. Sometimes it is
difficult for YW with no priesthood in the home to ask for special
blessings.
Ask "How Do You Measure Up" and give them time to write down goals for
the year, review goals they had last year and the progress made. A ruler
would be a good "handout".
