My blessings runneth over...I guess it's not politically correct to use the word blessing. A few days ago I happened upon a post that told about a high school project that allowed the students to create posters that reflect their beliefs. The poster contained these three words...

The student was told she could not use the word blessing when creating her poster because the word was associated with God. For me, the word is associated with God, simply because I believe in God. I was curious what the legal definition of the word was, so I looked it up.
noun
When God looks down upon you and protects you, this is an example of God's blessing.
When a father OKs a marriage proposal, this is an example of when he gives his blessing.
When you pray to God and ask to be held in good favor, this is an example of when you seek God's blessing.
When you are thankful to have your child, this is an example of when your child is a blessing.
How can something be so wrong, that is so right?
I ask you...
Whether you believe as I, or have other beliefs, I honor them, and most of all respect them.
Our world is a big place,filled with humans of all race, religion, and cultures.
If you wish to create a poster that represent your beliefs, you have that right as an American.
I live in America... I am an American. I respect all religions. I treat other's the way I wish to be treated. I do not discriminate against other's, in any way, shape or form. However, I do believe in blessings, and the meaning of the word. When I tell someone to have a blessed day, I'm referencing that my God, Jehovah, bless them with good, and love, and happiness.
While other's debate the subject of whether its's safe to say the word blessing. I will continue to applaud the word, and use it freely with the intention of making someone feel comforted and to let them know I care. After all, love shall conquer all. If not today, someday...
I am

Happy Thanksgiving and Keep the Faith.
