Every November, churches across the country come together to host the National Blessing Day. A day dedicated to renewing family bonds and deepening faith within our homes.

This is more than just an event.

It’s a movement that can change the trajectory of families in your church and beyond. By participating, you’ll be helping to prevent the disconnection, insecurity, and weakened relationships that too often plague our communities. You’ll be a driving force in fostering stronger, more resilient families who are grounded in faith and love.

What Is The Blessing?

The Blessing is a biblical truth that fosters faith, deep connections, security, and a sense of purpose. It’s not just words; it’s a commitment from God, and a loved one, to someone’s emotional and spiritual well-being.

In scripture, 5 things were always present when a Blessing was given. These 5 things are the basis for what we use at the National Blessing Day:

The 5 Elements of The Blessing

1. Appropriate Meaningful Touch:

A simple, loving gesture that communicates care and security, vital for strengthening family connections.

2. Spoken Words:

Powerful words of affirmation that shape a person’s identity and reinforce their worth.

3. Attaching High Value:

Recognizing and celebrating the unique, God-given worth of each individual, which builds a sense of belonging and significance.

4. Picturing a Special Future:

Offering a vision of a hopeful, God-honoring future that inspires purpose and direction.

5. An Active Genuine Commitment:

Demonstrating ongoing support and love, reflecting God’s unwavering commitment to us and ensuring enduring relationships.

*The 5 Elements of The Blessing, and The Blessing itself have been studied, written, and trademarked by Dr. John Trent. It is his life mission and message.
