This is a list of blessings I copied from a book by Joel Osteen. I copied them down, put them in a frame and gave it to both of my children one year.  I note that many churches including Eastside Baptist, CFAN, and of course Joel Osteen's church all have a proclamation that they repeat usually at the start of their sermon. I think it is a good thing. I remember in a book I read some time ago or maybe it was something I heard in a Mens Group some years past that it takes 20 positives to make up for one negative. I believe it. I remember at the mens group 50 year old men still had negative messages from  their father going thru their brain. WHy not say positive things over our family, our loved ones. We want good to happen, speak good things. Even in the Old Testament, fathers would give a blessing to their children, usually the oldest son, and maybe a lesser blessing to the others. I wonder some times what an impact I could have had on my children if I had been consitent in my relationship with God especially in the early years, when it seemed I was struggling in my own faith. We can never relive those years, we have to just go on from where we are. THe best thing I believe I could have given my children was a good home life, and modeling a good relationship with God.  THat is something that would help them thru the difficulties we all face in life. God bless, LVZ.
