Happiness and Blessings

What is the difference of happiness and blessing?

A blessing can be defined as an act of giving approval. It is in fact a ceremonial prayer invoking divine protection for the person whom you have just blessed. Right from birth to the different stages of growing up, we seek blessings of God as well as those of the elders in our family. There are certain occasions like marriages in church or the ceremony following the birth of a child in which we invite all our family, friends and acquaintances to come and shower us with their blessings.

Happiness is the state of wellbeing and is characterized by emotions ranging from contentment and a deep sense of pleasure to intense joy. It is the emotion experienced by a person when he is in a state of wellbeing.

Blessings:
I think that the word \"blessings\" can be used in only religion. Especially, church, ministery, and missionery work or organization, so that the word \"blessings\" originaly came from the word \"blood\" because blood represent for \"sacrifice of blood\" in religious term.


Happiness:
The word \"happiness\" originally came from the word \"happening\" so that the word happines could be used in secular term, like we won the jack-pop or fortune or money from gambling, sech as Las Vegas or other gambling places. For this reason, we can not find the word \"happiness\" in the Bible.

When you cant or try do something people say 'oh bless you'

So its not only religion word
