It's difficult to explain exactly but, essentially, the idea is that you have had a blessing fall upon you and are to be congratulated.

I grew up with Jewish neighbors in So. Calif. Lol.....I learned some Yiddish growing up & still use the words. I laugh when I stop I think about where the word I said camw from & where I learned it.
Yes, my life has been blessed. From where I was when I lived in Calif 15 years ago, it is a miracle that I survived to be where I am today.....but truly blessed & recovered which is probably the biggest miracle
