My Back To School Blessing

Dear Kids,

I received a blessing from your dad a couple weeks ago, recorded it, and broke it down a bit. I thought I should write down for you the things that were in that blessing:

Promises/Blessing:

• I will be supported in homeschooling my children
• I am the most perfect teacher for my children
• I have the skill set, but more importantly the inspiration on their behalf
• They are free from the restriction of age right now 
• I will be given added peace and understanding for them and life
• I am blessed with patience. They will try every aspect of my patience and ability, but I have all the tools necessary to get over the bumps in the road
• I will be guided to the most beneficial topics, focusing on family history and those in history who have given so much so we can have what we have today
• They will find connections that will last their whole lives
• I am blessed with health and strength to maintain all aspects of life
• My family will be blessed with continual and increase prosperity BECAUSE of the commitment I make to be at home... we will not want and our children will not want
• I am blessed in my personal study
• I am blessed in my interactions with my peers, especially this in the homeschooling community
• As I seek for inspiration in the moments of interaction with peers my mind and heart will be filled with increased capacity and knowledge for the benefit for all those involved including myself
• I am blessed as I strive to maintain harmony with the strong and powerful personalities of my children
• I am blessed with inspiration and PROPHETIC INSIGHT int to he future of my children, who they are as a result of the work THEY DID in the premortal life and who they are destined to become

Suggestions/Admonitions:

• There is NO SUBSTITUTE for me in the lives of my children right now in their lives
• REMEMBER: they all LOVE to learn, they just need a little bit of guidance, they are hungry for knowledge of the world around them
• Get out of their way and let them learn
• Be mindful of my rest and my diet and all the promises of D&C 89 will be mine
• Study intensely the life and teachings of Jesus Christ EVERY chance I have - they are the most important lessons I can teach my children
• Help your children KNOW their Savior, the things He did, and WHO HE truly is as their Savior so they can come to rely on Him as you do as a guide and comfort in your life
• REMEMBEr you have so much to give as you are called on to instruct and counsel... DO NOT shy away from those opportunities, especially with my friends and peers
• Peace CAN AND WILL prevail in my home as their is PEACE IN MY HEART
• Make a commitment to start your day with prayer and meditation, keep my thoughts focused on the spiritual meanings in this life
• ACT on the prophetic inspiration you can and will receive on your children's behalf so the foundations will be laid for their future outcome

I loved this blessing so much. So grateful to write it down to remember it, and so you can remember that I took it seriously in your educational lives. 

I love you,

Your Mom
