ACHOO! ~ Bless You ~ is a normal response when someone sneezes; as to say, wishing you good health. Or at the church I grew up in, when they sang the Happy Birthday song, they would always end it with "And May God Bless You, as to say, sending God's favor on your life!
Do you know that when we respond with "Bless You", or "God Bless You", you are sincerely sending blessings to that person; and it is a serious statement we should not use lightly, like many of us do with "Oh My God"; which is another post I will get into another day. So the next time someone cusses you out, sincerely respond with, "God Bless You"; or they cut in front of you on the highway sincerely say; "God Bless You"; or this is my favorite one, you hold the door open for someone and they walk through it and don't even say "Thank You". Instead of getting upset with them from the heart say, "God Bless You"!
So as not to confuse you with the meaning of Bless, Blessed and Blessings. When we say "God Bless You"; it means to invoke or pray to God for Godly favor or approval upon them. (Bible Study Tools; wikipedia)
The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
