“Then the rabbi showed up and someone asked if if he could bless the sewing machine! Then someone asked, “is there a blessing for a sewing machine?” And the rabbi replied “there is a blessing for everything.” This is where we get our mindset. That could have been an Orthodox priest for all you know, and he would have given the same answer!”

Yup! Why even our computers and fax machine and copy machine and law books and the building itself at our office get blessed, and of course our homes and automobiles. All of Creation is destined for theosis through the Incarnation! Tell me, Kosta mou, why wouldn’t there be a blessing for everything? :)

All is God’s Creation. It was blessed into be being in the first place; why wouldn’t further blessing be appropriate as well?
