About The National Blessing Day

Founded in 2023 by two national ministries, StrongFamilies and Legacy Minded Ministries, the National Blessing DayTM exists to help each of us take a powerful and practical step to heal a generation – and a nation – desperate for authentic love and acceptance. By giving someone we love our Blessing, we are able to meet a deep, critical need that each of us has: The need to be seen, valued, and authentically loved by someone else.

For us, we believe this starts by receiving God’s blessing. And it is through His love, and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, that we are able to truly bless others. Even when relationships have become strained – or seem to be beyond repair.

We all know the immense struggles that our children, and our nation, are facing today. Our country needs Jesus. And one way to show His incredible love, and break through barriers in a powerful and life-changing way is to give someone we love our Blessing.

The Blessing isn’t a formula, and it’s not designed to be a one-time exchange. Every day, you can choose to bless, and to impact someone’s life. However, many have never received this gift. So, to solve this problem – and to encourage those who are already doing it to continue – we created National Blessing Day. Now, each year, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, we formally ask churches, parents, individuals, leaders, and every believer to choose at least ONE PERSON to bless.

By joining this movement, you can truly change a life – and give someone the gift of your, and the Lord’s authentic love and acceptance. We hope you join us.

What Is The Blessing?

The Blessing is a life-changing, biblical gift each of us was created to receive. And give – to those God has placed in our lives.

The Blessing consists of five key elements:

  1. Appropriate Meaningful Touch
  2. Spoken Words
  3. Attaching High Value
  4. Picturing a Special Future
  5. Active Genuine Commitment

These elements work together to provide a deep sense of love, security, and identity.

The Blessing is more than just a set of principles. It’s a guide for creating a legacy of love and faith that can shape a family’s future for generations.

The Blessing, and the 5 Elements have been extensively studied and written about by Dr. John Trent. They are the foundation for his best-selling, award-winning book The Blessing. 

This book is at the heart of the National Blessing Day. It is a powerful resource for those looking to better understand this critically important gift. And is Dr. Trent’s life mission and the core message/mission of his ministry, StrongFamilies.
