Blessed How?

I heard a child in the mall say there were blessed because of the jeans they were able to buy. Why do we teach our children that they are blessed because they have more than someone else or better than someone else. I always wondered why we counted our blessings based on someone else. Am I blessed because I have legs? Does that mean someone without legs is not blessed? When will acknowledge blessings that don't put us in competition with others? We are all blessed. Working or not. Rich or poor. Mercedes or bus. It is not about the what, or is it? Are there not spiritual gifts that cause us to know that we are blessed? Tell me, blessed how?
