Matthew 5: 3-11

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."

This was in my daily study one day recently. It reminded me again that all of us are blessed.. you know we wouldn't mourn if the life we had lost hadn't blessed us.

This is close to my heart as the anniversary of my Mother's death draws near.

God is good. He loves us and blesses us. Are you looking for the blessings He has given you here on earth?
