#AtoZChallenge B

Challenge Day 2 brings us the letter B!
My "B" word is the Beatitudes.  Beatitude=blessedness

So I actually should get 2 points because "B" is for beatitude and for the word blessedness which is what the Latin word means!  Below you can find the beatitudes.

I think that we all should memorize these so that we can think on them when times are rough.  I can remember memorizing them when I was in elementary school in Sunday School.  These are definitely on the to do memorization list for my children!

Matthew 5:3-12 King James Version (KJV)

³Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
⁵Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
⁶Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
⁷Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
⁸Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
⁹Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
¹⁰Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
¹²Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
