WELCOME!!
It's explained in this
thread. I just asked this question today
.:Blessings:.
How Blessings Work
The Blessings system is a unique and original feature of Christian Forums, not found anywhere else. Essentially, it allows more interactivity between members and other members, and between members and the site itself.
How to GAIN blessings:
1. Be nice to other members and they can bless you by clicking the blessings icon underneath your posts!
2. Make new posts and you get 1 blessing per post.
3. Donate and become a Site Supporter and you get 1,000 blessings for each dollar you donate!
How to USE blessings:
1. Bless other members by clicking on the blessing icon (red heart and cross) under their posts, or on their blessing count itself.
2. Get a Post Signature for 50 blessings.
3. Get a Profile Photo for 150 blessings.
4. Get a custom avatar for 200 blessings.
Remember, you can be creative with blessings. In the past, members have held competitions, played games, and exchanged blessings in other interesting ways. Note that you are not allowed to "beg" or "solicit" blessings for nothing in return in posts or PMs.
Enjoy blessing each other, and remember - it's more blessed to give than to receive!
