from Out of the Spin Cycle: Devotions to Lighten Your Mother Load
by Jen Hatmaker
"Henri Nouwen wrote, '[A blessing] is more than a word of praise or appreciation; it is more than pointing out someone's talents or good deeds; it is more than putting someone in the light. To give a blessing is to affirm, to say 'yes' to a person's Belovedness.'
Your children are beloved in so many ways. They are beautiful in spirit, adored by the Father. Who they are is wonderful- well beyond what they do. Your children are innocent and trusting, hilarious, and tender. Jesus loves them uniquely. They bring joy and laughter to our families. Their lives lie ahead of them, full of promise and potential.
We have the privilege to speak this truth into their lives, to call it forth."
