Celebrating Blessings
Our theme this month is “Celebrating Blessings.” In this lesson, we reflect on what a blessing is. Is it as simple as what you say after a sneeze? There are blessings at the dinner table, counting your blessings, and “you are a blessing.” Many see life’s gifts as blessings from God. Our faith uses the idea of blessing to refer to something good, something that feels like a gift. Celebrating blessings means: remembering with gratitude all the good things in our lives.

Celebrating Blessings
