This Special Blessing for You

by Eric Schrotenboer, Denise Hughes (Illustrator)

Overview

God is full of love for your children, and This Special Blessing for You empowers them to live out who God wants them to be in the world. Now available as a board book, the engaging, rhyming text encourages the kids in your life to see themselves as God’s child and spread love and kindness to others.

Today is the day the world gets to see,

the beautiful person God made you to be.

Wherever you go, it’s God’s love you’re expressing,

so God sends you out with this special blessing.

This Special Blessing for You uses words and phrases that help young children better understand what God wants to communicate to them. Each promise and declaration is based on the Aaronic Blessing found in Numbers 6:23–27: “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Young children ages will delight in these spiritual takeaways:

• God loves you so much and delights in your presence.
• Every child is God’s beautiful creation.
• God fills you with power and strength to be who God calls you to be.
• You carry God’s name wherever you go.
• You show the world what God is like by how you love and serve one another.

This Special Blessing for You is perfect for:

• read-aloud time or at the end of the day during nightly bedtime routines.
• nursery school and children’s worship classes, to let kids know at an early age who God is calling them to be and what God is calling them to do each day as they go out into the world.
• parents and grandparents who want to share God’s blessing with the children in their lives.
• baptism, Easter, birthday, and any other gift-giving events.
