EMOTIONAL GROWTH NEEDS...

Just as a flower cannot grow unless it has soil, air, water, light, and a secure place to grow, researchers have leaned that people can’t grow emotionally unless five basic ingredients are present:

1. Meaningful touch.

2. A spoken message.

3. The attachment of ’high value’ to the one being blessed.

4. The picturing of a special future for the one being blessed.

5. And a personal commitment to help fulfill the blessing in the person you want to bless.

(From a sermon by Gene Edwards, "In Search of the Blessing")
