My blessed daughter with her husband David.
My daughter Femia Hope phoned me with an important revelation.
"You know mum, father's need to place a blessing on their son today, as they did in Bible days.
I think the Jewish still do this.?"
She continued to inform me that her church was teaching what it meant to receive this age old Approval.
"Older men in our church are standing in the gap and praying for those younger."
She explained her own husband David, 51yrs, had just received his blessing.
Now in turn, David will bestow a blessings on his own two sons, and on other younger men without Christian fathers.
Many men go through life feeling rejected, unworthy or with low self esteem, because they have never been vindicated by their father.
Men are lost in a system where not much understanding is given to their emotions, desires, frustrations and needs.
Let's remember to lift up and encourage our men from little boys, through adolescance and on to manhood.
(never forgetting the girls)
Why am I writing this here??
I am hoping and praying that you readers may carry it with you into your Church's and families.
"Your father's blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills."
Genesis 49:26
"Jesus, took the children in his arms,
Placed his hands on them
And blessed them."
Mark 10:16
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
