A blessing is the act of being blessed by someone. An example is the Priestly blessing (Numbers 6:24-26), which goes like this:
- The LORD bless thee, and keep thee.
- The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee.
- The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Another blessing is the popular Irish saying,
- May the road rise up to meet you.
- May the wind be always at your back.
- May the sun shine warm upon your face.
- May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
- May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Sometimes children are called "blessings" by true Christians, but not often by unbelievers.[1]
