Belt test!

Elinor was preparing for her belt test in her Karate class and was very nervous to the point where she wasn’t sure she could take the test at all.  I suggested she ask for a blessing, or say a prayer to help her be calm.  She asked Jon for a fathers blessing right before we left for the test, and later, during a break in the test when she was feeling the edge of panic, she said a prayer, right there on the floor.  After passing the test, she was elated and with a huge smile proceeded to tell her instructors, friends and friends parents how she was able to do it because she had been given a fathers blessing that morning and had prayed for peace during the test. I was so proud of her!
