Spoken Blessings
Contributed by Rick Pendleton on May 22, 2008 (message contributor)
SPOKEN BLESSINGS
“A blessing becomes so only when it is spoken... Spoken words of praise and appreciation gives the child an indication that he or she is worthwhile and valuable. It is not enough to provide a roof over our children’s heads or to provide them with food and the material necessities of life. Without spoken words of blessing, they are left unsure of their personal worth and acceptance.”
