The word blessed mean blessed ..not BLESSE---ED . mary was saying that all generations would see how God blessed her.

We honor the BLESSER (God) , not the blessed.. I am blessed by God as is all those He has saved ...

Yeah. OK, got it: there are not three Es in Blessed.

But we know from Calvin that blessed doesn't mean blessed here, it means "happy."

Considering Calvinist theology, when your foundational view of humanity is Totally Depraved, "human being" would be an honor.
