We tend to think of "blessing" in tangible, measurable ways, but God thinks much deeper. Blessings speak to our relationship with God through Jesus, and are intended to pull us into relationship where we realize how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ... that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Therefore, thankFULLness is not a time to relax and "loosen our belts"--we are filled for a reason! And blessed people bless people.
