Monday Blessing || Beginnings

For Summer 2021, Monday mornings will be for blessings - short, soulful meditations to start your week. The idea of speaking blessings is inspired from a 2013 sermon series, To Love Life and See Good Days, from Manna Church in Fayetteville, NC.

When we speak blessings over ourselves and over others, we are mirroring what God has done to build hope, confidence, joy, justice, and truth in his people for generations. The tongue has the power of life and death; this is one way we use the power of life.

After you listen to the blessing, try speaking it aloud. Insert "I" instead of "you". Then, consider speaking it over someone in your life who could use a blessing today.

We start our series off with a a Blessing for Softness, inspired by author & therapist Aundi Kolber's book, Try Softer.

If you want these in your email to read the blessing a week or two before it's released here, sign up here. You'll hear from me on Mondays & the first of every month.
