As we continue our school year and our journey through Dr. Ron Wolfson’s book<br />
expressing that everyone can be one of God’s Superheroes, this month we will be<br />
discussing the superpower, “Bless.” God blesses all of us.<br />
When asking your parents for a blessing you are asking for permission to try<br />
something new.<br />
When giving a blessing you give your approval.<br />
When counting your blessings you realize how lucky you are to be healthy, have<br />
a nice family, and be able to enjoy life.<br />
In Judaism, we say or sing a lot of blessings. Before eating bread we say the Ha-motzi and during Hanukkah<br />
we sing blessings over the candles.<br />
Remember to: say “God bless you” When someone does something wonderful. Think about the blessings<br />
in your life before you go to sleep and say thank you to God.<br />
Bless God for the food you eat, the family who loves you, and everyone who is special in your life.<br />
Most important, think of yourself as a blessing because You are!<br />
Wishing you joy, happiness, and a love of learning!<br />
