The night before Troy’s birthday I decided to have a blessing ceremony for him. As he enters into manhood I wanted to do everything in my power to set him up for success. A few months ago I asked all the men in his life to write a letter to Troy giving advice or encouragement. I also prepared a few other little things I wanted to speak over him and the Lord gave me a few ideas, as well. I took him to a beautiful bluff at sunset and I explained what a blessing ceremony was, let him read his letters, prayed over and anointed him with oil, we listened to worship music and I gave him a sword to symbolize and memorialize the night. It was such a peaceful evening and I pray it is something he remembers always and that the Lord uses as Troy steps out on his own in a few short months.
