The Power of a Blessing

My eyes perused our front porch.Scattered throughout sat men and their families. From all backgrounds and walks of life, these men symbolized the legacy and heritage of time well spent. Men of discipline, men of character, men who invested time in our son over the last eighteen years, prepared to share in a special time of blessing over him.
Throughout scripture, we witness the power of the verbal blessing upon God's children. Not just confined to the Old Testament, Jesus's ministry began and ended with blessings.
Proverbs 18 also reminds us that death and life are in the power of the tongue. It wields power.
A single comment, a single sentence, a single conversation can stay with us for a lifetime. Many of us can pinpoint a single exchange, whether for good or evil, that has stayed with us through the years.
Words. Powerful words. Used as either a blessing or a curse.
