If there is ever a question about what our attitude toward life should be, we need only review St. Matthew 5 where Jesus makes it crystal clear.

> Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
> Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
> Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
> Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
> Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
> Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
> Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
> Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
> Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Matt 5:3-12 KJV )
If we adopt this as our ‘Attitude of Being’ we won’t often be thrown by people or circumstances. In fact, happy we will be now and a great reward awaits us in heaven. Admittedly, this is easier to say than to do, but it’s not impossible. If it were, Jesus would not have taught it. So believers, don’t just read about it, lets be about it!> Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me clear directions concerning my attitude toward people and life. Through you I can do all things. Amen!
Ps 12:6-7. . . .The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. KJV
Good word Elder. No matter what we may going through at any given time, if we are believers, the bottom line is ' we're blessed '
