BOLD Ministry

Most people attribute 'blessing' as something that happens to you as a result of something that you do, and for others for something that you don't deserve. But actually, there are about (I counted) at least 42 categories or instances which qualify you to be blessed. We all know about the Beatitudes, but there are about three dozen more instances of blessing recorded in the Bible. Here are the one's that I found:
