This the perfect way for them to capture how they feel and when they are 18 and can make their own decisions, they will have a journal like this !! Thanks for sharing.

After the stroke of midnight, the family toasts the New Year with non-alcoholic drinks in long-stem glasses. Then the family kneels together and a prayer of gratitude is given for all the blessings granted their family over the past year. After the prayer the father gives every member of the family a blessing. Since Dale was in Corona, Justin gave Lucy and I a blessing. It was the first time one of my sons has given me a blessing, and I was amazed and touched to hear the Lord speak through him and give me direction that 1) I needed and had been looking for and 2) set me on an urgent assignment which I wouldn't have hurried to do otherwise. It was a tender moment, thanks to the fabulous Javier family tradition!!Beth Collinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-45443325230184398832012-01-02T13:44:35.635-08:002012-01-02T13:44:35.635-08:00Thank you, Cath!
