I too saw the “One Thing Christians Should Stop Saying” post floating around Facebook and I was disturbed by it. I understand his point about not adhering to the prosperity gospel and recognizing the material possessions are not the definition of blessings. However, he seemed to think that by saying that if blessings included material possessions that conversely would mean that those who don’t have material possessions are automatically not blessed. That’s not how blessings work. You having money and me not having money does not mean I’m not blessed. I may be blessed in other ways that you aren’t.

And John Dexter made a good point too. If you’re can’t recognize your material possessions as blessings from God, then who are they from? Although, in all fairness, Dannemiller does mention at the end of the article that he now says he’s “thankful” instead of “blessed.” But I don’t really see how that’s different from saying “blessed.”

And I wonder..who DO we give credit to, and thank when “material windfalls” come our way, if it isn’t God. Not sure I agree with all that author says! And you brought out very good points. Thank you. God DOES want to bless His children…whether in material things, or richness in so many other ways…He is the One who knows what is best for each of us….so, as you say, be thankful in everything. I don’t say things as well as you do, but I appreciated this post . Thanks…Love you.
