LEADS US TO HAPPINESS
Happy

for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy
are they who mourn,
for
they will be comforted.
Happy

for
they will inherit the land.
Happy

for
righteousness,
for
they will be satisfied.
Happy

they will be shown mercy.
Happy
are the clean of heart,
for
they will see God.
Happy

Happy

We are always in need of paper towels,
kleenex, plastic utensils, paper plates,
and sponges. Any and all donations are welcome. (of course I will
never turn away coffee or chocolate, either)
