Priesthood Blessings

My roommate has been sick off and on ever since school started. Tonight at ward prayer she asked a couple guys in our ward if they would give her blessing when they all got back home. They of course agreed, and came right over.
Two of my other roommates were in the room when I walked in, so I felt it was okay if I asked to stay, and be a part of it.
As soon as the second young man pronounced the words:
"By the power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, Which I hold..."
A spirit came over me testifying of the power and divinity of the priesthood. I also had a feeling of overwhelming gratitude for those two men, who were in my home, and who exercise their priesthood righteously. Who understand, and live accordingly, to hold the power of our Beloved Heavenly Father.
Can you imagine the love He must have for us? To trust us with his power? How often do we forget the things he has done for us. I didn't realize, until tonight how much I missed living with a worthy priesthood holder. Right now I want to thank my Father and my Brothers for the examples they set for me. And to my Mom(s), Aunts, and Friends for setting the example of the kind of man I want to spend eternity with.
How often do we take "the small and simple things" for granted? From today I am going to strive to be better than I was yesterday. This is all he asks of us.
