Have you ever received the Blessing?
Mar 20th, 2008 by admin
Everyone longs for something, and many don’t know what that is. All they know is that they are missing something. They grow up searching for it. Longing for it so much that they will give up or do anything to get it; looking in all the wrong places. You see they are missing the blessing. The blessing is what makes us feel wanted and safe. It gives us a security in which we are in our innermost being. We look towards our future and see good things. It is so sad because most people I see today have not received the blessing. I am one of the lucky few that has, I hope you can say the same.
There are five elements of the blessing. They are meaningful touch, special spoken messages, word pictures that denote high value, instill positive future, and a commitment to bring to pass. Also to add to that everyone needs parental affirmation and family acceptance.
As you can see the blessing is given to children by their parents. Though if the parents have not received the blessing themselves, then it is likely that they will not, or haven’t passed it down to their children.
Children love to be held. They want to feel your loving arms hug them tight, or a pat on the back for a job well done. When they get older boys want to wrestle with their fathers and play around. This is all meaningful touch.
Children want to be told I love you. My little man tells me out of the clear blue I love you. He is expressing his feelings and is looking for me to do the same. They come to us looking for affirmation. They want special spoken messages.
Children want to not only know that they are valued but be told that they are valued. They don’t want to be called stupid, dumb, if only you where_______, or if only you where like_______. This just wounds their sprit. Then how will they view you as they grow up. Hold them in high value for who they are.
Children want to be told that they can be anything that they want to be. Like a pilot, nurse, astronaut, doctor, etc…. not “You won’t amount to anything.” Speak of a positive future for them!
Children want you to be involved in their lives. They may not always show it and some times we don’t need to be, or shouldn’t be. They want you to invest in them. Show them that you are committed to bring a positive future to pass.
If you are a parent and have not received your blessing then I pray that it is given to you in some way. Everyone needs the blessing.
Thank you dad for showing me what the five elements of the blessing are.
