“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee; the LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; the LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
God gave these words to Aaron, the priest, and his sons to use in blessing the children of Israel. As I read this passage a few weeks ago, I thought how appropriate it would be as a blessing for our family.
I was excited to find these verses as a print on Etsy. I found an inexpensive mat and frame at Target and my husband hung it on the wall in our living area.
Beyond that, I want to make this an ongoing tradition in our family. For years, when my mom mailed me a card or a letter, she would include the words of 3 John 4, ” I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” I want to do the same with this blessing for our children.
Numbers 6:27 says, “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” It’s exactly what I want for our family – God’s blessings!
With this print on the wall, we can now see God’s words of blessing every day.
Do you have any Scripture posted around your home?
