| The Blessing |
 |
by
Gary Smalley |
We all have a powerful need to know that someone in this world loves us and acccepts us unconditionally. We especially crave our parent's blessing, and without it, we may become angry and driven or detached and empty. We may also feel this hurtful lack between brothers and sister, husbands and wives, or even within our religious congregation.
Now family counselors Gary Smalley and John Trent, Ph.D., show us how we can transform our lives--even when it is no longer possible to receive our parents' blessing. They reveal the five key elements of the blessing, describe the most common home situations where a blessing has been denied. . . and offer practical, effective methods to heal broken hearts and families. Most importantly, they explain how we can be a blessing, and pass on that life-changing gift to our loved ones. |
