JESUS LEADS US TO HAPPINESS

Happy are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy are they who mourn, 
for they will be comforted.
Happy are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Happy are they who hunger and thirst 
for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Happy are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Happy are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Happy are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Happy are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Thank you for all of your support in making this a successful year!
