Blessed to me means this: God protects me and my family. He has given me life, love and family. I am blessed with two beautiful children. One of them is Autistic---and he is a blessing, he makes me see the world in a different way. I have a 10mo old, who is independent and "normal" so that he challenges me with things my oldest never did. I have an awesome husband, who is a great provider, my best friend and an AWESOME dad. I have enough--which means this--I have enough to pay bills, to care for my family, a roof over our heads, a vehicle, a savings account and my worst days are better than most people's best days. I am blessed that is for sure!!!!! I thank God every day---because of him, I am blessed!!!!!

Being blessed is having divine favor. A blessing can only come from God, even if He uses someone through which to give the blessing to you.

That god somehow bent the rules of the universe to suit someone's petty desires.
