what is a blessing in the bible
In the Bible, a blessing is defined as a divine act of favor or benefit bestowed by God upon individuals or groups, often associated with prosperity, protection, and well-being. It represents God’s kindness, goodness, and mercy, and is seen as an outpouring of His grace over His people, rewarding those who seek Him. Additionally, blessings can be viewed as public declarations of favored status with God, emphasizing His desire to bless humanity. Ultimately, the greatest blessing is the new life and forgiveness offered through faith in Jesus Christ.
There are churches in my corner of PA, some are Catholic, that regularly bless pets.
Seems innocuous, but I’m not a theologian. *shrug*
