Recently I was introduced to the concept of blessing yourself. What a wonderful idea! To say to yourself words that give you a hug from God. (It doesn’t have to be out loud.)
Say your name and…
May the LORD be good to you and give you peace.
Then use the same blessing on your kids.
Here is a resource to get started using blessings with your children (and yourself).
