Blessing

Throughout this series, we’ve been talking about how our families of origin can mark us for good or ill. In this last message, we talk about the more positive side of unbecoming your parents: “countering the curse” and being a blessing to the next generation. Not only will we look at how to bless your kids, but also about the effect of what that can do to you, your entire family, and beyond. Because when you give this blessing, be it to your sons or your daughters, you get it in return.

If you weren’t blessed as a child, take this message to heart and see what happens to your own wounds, scars, holes and empty places.
