Blessed.








(ALL PICTURES TAKEN [except the two he is in] BY GEOFFREY NIGHSWONGER)

"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 after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the 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. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:3-12

Step back. 
Recognize the blessings in your life. 
Recognize that  you did nothing to "deserve" those blessings.
Recognize that you are blessed because YOU are a child of the MOST HIGH KING!

Look at these pictures.
Look at those kids.
Look into their eyes.
Recognize that they too are blessed, loved, and favored.

We are no better.
We are no more blessed.
We are no more loved.
We are no more favored.

We are all different.
These children wake up and chose joy, they chose Jesus.
will you?!
