I received this description of what a blessing actually is from the One Spirit Alliance Daily Practice. From Irish Blessings to the 7 blessings of the Jewish tradition, one does not have to have a religious service in order to have blessings in a ceremony.

A blessing is the offering of one heart to another; to another person, to a situation, to life itself. Isn't that what we are here for? To bless the savor of this precious moment even as it slips through our fingers? To allow its sorrow, its joy, its silence or laughter to enter our life stream and add a measure to who we are?

John O'Donohue was a master of the elemental blessings for almost every situation in life.
 

Here is an excerpt from For New Beginnnings that we never got to at Lil and Bob's wedding ceremony due to extreme weather conditions - suffice to say they were a very 'hot ' couple.

 

 

For a New Beginning by John O’Donahue

 

In the out-of- the -way places of the heart,

Where your thoughts never think to wander,

This beginning has been quietly forming,

Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
