Week 17: Tears in Translation
Share
Sharon lives in South India. She’s a mother. A daughter. A believer. And now—thanks to a special project—she’s also a translator of *The Awesome Power of Blessing* into Tamil.
Suddenly, the words weren’t just ink on the page—they became personal. Painfully personal.
Her own father had passed away some years earlier. The grief still lingered. She’d never received a blessing from him. No affirming words. No spoken love. No final goodbye.
As she typed, the tears came.
“I was in tears when I was translating,” she wrote. “The message on the Father’s blessing has blessed me a lot.”
Something began to shift inside her. Instead of continuing a cycle of scolding her young son for his mistakes, she made a new decision.
“I started to bless my child,” she said.
Her son is just two years old. But already, his life is being shaped by a different kind of voice—a voice of blessing, spoken daily by his mother.
Though Sharon never received a father’s blessing, she reached out with a simple request:
“Please pronounce a father’s blessing over me.”
Sharon’s story is one of quiet courage. Of healing through truth. Of passing on what she never received.
She writes: “Thank you… We love you.”
And heaven echoes back:
*You are loved, Sharon. And you are blessed.*
“He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.”

“The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.”
