BOA #124 - Bless with the Blessing Cup! - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Do you speak words of blessings to the people in your life, telling them eye-to-eye the ways they are a blessing to you and to others?

A wonderful way to do this is known as the Blessing Cup. 

It’s easy to do this with family, with friends and with small groups. The Blessing Cup is a way to celebrate one person or for everyone to share deeply and pray for one another.

Pick something to celebrate such as a birthday, a promotion, a graduation. Sit and share a meal at table. Put in the center of the table a cup, your Blessing Cup, filled with a liquid you all may sip (although some may not for reasons of hygiene).

Pass the cup. Each person holding it tells the person being celebrated, “Why you are a blessing.” After everyone has a turn, whether 2 people or 12, then pray, offering prayers of gratitude for the celebrated person as a blessing among you.

To make the Blessing Cup a regular part of family life, choose a cup that will only be used for this purpose. It will remind you all of God’s blessings whenever you see it.

The practice of the Blessing Cup will deeply encourage you and those with you!
