A Blessing Book to Treasure

For years, I’ve been blessed by Susie Larson’s morning and evening blessings.

With May His Face Shine Upon You, Larson pairs Scripture with 90 blessings that will speak life into the days of mothers and their children.

Arranged by topics like grace, forgiveness, prayer, worry, trust, sadness, and God’s promises, this blessing book is a treasure of God’s goodness that mothers will cherish, and through it, children will begin to understand God’s promises for them.

A blessing that especially touched me was “Snuggled by God,” about Psalm 91:4, “He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection” (emphasis added in the blessing). It’s an evening blessing for a child. Larson writes, “Picture yourself as a baby bird and Jesus as a mother bird with His wing protecting you and keeping you warm. Snuggle up close to Him as you go to sleep.”

This book is a gift to mothers and children. I will give one to a young mother I know.

Father, thank You for Susie Larson. May Your face shine upon her and all that she does. Bless all the mothers and children who partake of the blessings in this book. May these Scriptures and blessings penetrate each heart as mothers and children think about Your great and precious promises. In Jesus’ name, amen.
