People said "you are(were) blessed" sometimes to me, or by the end of texting message, some would ending up with "blessing". Then how can I reply?

Thanks,

That depends on why they say/said that. Context is important.
 
Context is all the information surrounding the language that is being discussed.

If I holler "Get out of here", it is difficult to understand the intended meaning. If I tell you that the building is on fire, it helps you to understand. That is context.
 
Situation 1:
A:I am going out of town for training next week.
B: You were blessed.

Situation 2:
No matter what people talk about by texting, some would end up their message by "blessing".

What do they mean in the two situations? AND how to reply?
