Gary Smalley and John Trent wrote a wonderful book called The Gift of the Blessing. They share about the importance of giving blessings, and 5 elements of the blessing.
- Meaningful Touch
- Spoken Words
- Expressing High Value
- Picturing a Special Future
- An Active Commitment
As Grandparents, what are ways we can incorporate these concepts as we give blessings to our grandchildren?
But perhaps, dear fellow grandparents, like me, you don't live near all your grandchildren. We can give the best gift of all - we can pray. Phone calls, letters, and cards are all ways to make an active commitment even if you are long distance.
Let's commit to put things in writing for our grandchildren. What a treasure they will have when they read our words of encouragement.
I would love to hear how you are blessing your precious grandchildren!
