Words of Blessing

"The Lord spoke to Moses saying:  Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying,  Thus you shall bless the Israelites:  You shall say to them,

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace."

Numbers 6: 22-27

So it was that the Lord God of Israel blessed His people.  Everyday, we have a choice to bless people or not.  There are many words of blessing.  Sometimes, all we need to know are the words.  This is my list.  Yours might be longer.  I urge you to make a list and use these words frequently with those you love, and, more importantly, with those you don't like.

God Bless You
I love you
Peace
May you be blessed
For you
Blessings
I give you my love
I hold you in my heart
I will love you for the rest of my life
I hope you feel better.
Let me hold you.
I give you my heart.
I want to help you.
May I help you
Listen to me
May I help you find a seat
May I carry that for you
How was your day
Let's do this together.
Are you all right
My heart is in your heart.
I will never forget you
Peace be with you
Have a good day
How can I help you
What would you like for dinner
Did you clean your room

What words can you add to this list?
