Sharing the CF Blessings

[Greg Merrill]

This thread is for the purpose of learning about what we can do with the CF blessings we are accumulating. What their original purpose is intended for seems to be to get "upgrades" on this site. Has that been all that desirable, profitable, or necessary for any of you? Can anyone tell me of any other purposes I may not be aware of that aren't stated with the "upgrade" offers?
Now on the other hand, I just had 100 blessings shared with me by another member. I had read of "sharing" but hadn't had any or done any sharing of blessings, so thanked them and asked them why they shared with me. We started a conversation, and as I had been thinking about the sharing of "blessings" concept here in CF, I found that this person and I were now thinking the same thing. Instead of accumulating all these blessing for ourselves, why not make it an aim to share them with others. Isn't that reflective of the Christian life to share blessings. Not everyone has the gift of giving, and some of us need to work on our selfishness, so why not use this opportunity, to be a channel of blessings rather than a hoarder of blessings.
To receive a shared blessing might really "be a blessing" to both the giver and the receiver.

Because I have selfishly enjoyed seeing the number of blessings I have accumulated keep rising upward ( to me as a symbol that I am doing something worthwhile ), and because they are approaching 10,000, I thought I would wait for some replies to this thread until I get to 10,000, and then if no response tells me why I should not give them away, I will start doing so. It reminds me of an old TV show called "The Millionaire" (before inflation). You never saw the millionaire, only his employee, who was employed to give away money to needy or deserving people. We can be that employee, while God is the "Millionaire", and other readers on CF are the needy or deserving people, as we share our CF blessings accumulate.

Greg, I tried to give you all of my blessings... 21,355 of them.
But I got this message:
You do not have enough Blessings to perform that action, you need ✟213,550.00.

Imagine that, I can't give you my blessings. CF said NO!

But's that's OK..I'll ask God to give you real blessings. CF can't stop that.

Sounds like a smart idea !

Just add a chuckle to myself at the surprise people might get if they disagree harshly with me and I send blessings their way.

On a serious note though it might cheer someone up who is a little down. I'm about to go to sleep, hopefully will remember tomorrow.

Thanks for mentioning that Greg

Yeah, I remember someone gave me 2,000 to show support and I didn't know how they worked but it is nice.

It is far more blessed to give than to receive.
and that goes for anything .
Its not everyday the double of the prime minister of Israel speaks with us.
Be blessed greg.

That's funny. Thanks for your generous thought, and for your prayers. "Bless you."
