The blessings I have received are beyond measure and my wife and I try to share with others in proportion to those blessings. We do not speak of them, though, because to do so would be to claim our reward on earth as opposed to laying up treasures in Heaven. I am reluctant even to say this much, but we try to be as generous to others as God has been to us.

I always bless the Name of the Lord, but if possible, in turn I try to bless others too. I definitely tell others about what blessings God has bestowed on me.

Of course!!!!! I wake up each and every morning and thank God for the blessing of a new day. I am always asking God to bless others in the name of the Lord. I am one who truly believes that you should do onto others as you would want others to do onto you.
Reaching out to bless or help others only makes us stronger people.
God is Love. Pass it on!!!!

Ahh, a very interesting question.
Ultimately, I know the source of all blessings is Hashem. As Jews we are taught to say 100 blessings a day thanking Hashem for what we have gotten. Although there are specific blessings for this, I tend to do them freestyle.
Like "Thanks Hashem for giving me a cat's purr to teach me gratefulness."
When we receive a blessing from Hashem, we can hold it tightly in our hands, clasping it like a diamond found on the ground, not sharing it with others. Or we can share the blessings with others as we are taught in the Torah.
When we share with others, especially when it's totally unexpected, they may spontaneously say bless G-d something like this "Thank G-d you were here...."
That is the ultimate reward of performing a kindness. When people recognize I was sent by G-d to help them and they glorify the Name of G-d rather than me.

Before my feet ever even hit the floor in the morning, my first thought is for the Lord, I pray and thank Him for getting me through another night and waking me for another day. On the way to take my little ones to daycare, we again do morning prayers, and I have to tell you the joy that fills my heart at hearing the sincerity in their young voices as they reach out to God. I've been blessed in many ways and strive daily to share that with everyone I come into contact with, either by a word, a prayer, a deed. It is too little in comparison I know to what God has done for me, but I will continue to try.

Well, since God created matter, I find it a blessing to be alive. And any blessing I could possibly bestow on anyone else would ultimately be a blessing from God, and not from myself.

Anything positive I feel I can contribute, I do. Is everything that is good viewed as a blessing? Beats me, I give on to others, because others have given me. I like to keep good things going.
Jah Bless
