Short blessing prayers are acts of gratitude in many religious traditions. They convey our recognition that the Creator of the Universe is known through whatever is being blessed. They are also intended to call God's light and love to a person, place, creature, or object. Rabbi Lawrence Kushner elaborates: "With each blessing uttered we extend the boundaries of the sacred world and ritualize our love of life." Say as many blessings as you can every day.
