This is a review for the children’s book The Blessing Of You Published by Mark Patterson which I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
Charlie surprised me when he sat down to look through The Blessing Of You and before I knew what was happening I found Charlie reading the book to himself then he said mom I need to share this story with you. I sat on the couch and Charlie and I read the book together discussing the Lord and how he makes us feel.
As we finished The Blessing Of You the Medicine I took began to work and I was able to get some work finished and this wouldn’t have happened if my copy of the book hadn’t arrived and I took the much needed time off to spend with Charlie bringing us closer together while reminding us of the Lord and his love for us.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to read The Blessing Of You I hope you take the time to because it will change the way you think about things. The Blessing Of You is the perfect book for children, teachers and Church’s to add to there libraries.
About:
From enjoying warm Cookies to climbing a tree, this engaging picture book helps young children recognize signs of God’s generosity and goodness in their everyday lives. They also learn how they can bless others by using the gifts God gave them and by being their own wonderful, God-created selves.
God’s blessings can be found all around us, and even young children can learn to see and appreciate these gifts—from the smell of freshly baked Cookies to the joy of climbing a tree! But God doesn’t just intend for us to receive blessings; he also wants us to bless others.
With whimsical rhyme and delightful illustrations, The Blessing of You helps young children recognize signs of God’s generosity and goodness in their everyday lives and encourages them to pass on those blessings by being their own wonderful, God-created selves.
