8 Beautiful Traits: The Beatitudes

Count your blessings

We should always count our blessings. And the Beatitudes that Jesus taught us from His Sermon on the Mount are 8 beautiful blessings we can count (on) every day. Download my free eBook (value $14.99) - 8 Beautiful Beatitudes: Blessings for Blessings - about how to be blessed in the middle of life's circumstances. It's only 44 pages long - 38 pages of reading. I think you'll find it to be very soothing and calming and will bring peace to your daily living. After you read it, come back and let's have a discussion and Q&A in the comments section below.

Writing this book has helped me through a hard time in my life, and I hope it helps you and others you know as you practice these traits that Jesus taught us here. And as with all of my other books and blog posts, I love sharing my journeys that may bless you in some way.

Some quotes from Beautiful Beatitudes: Blessings for Blessings:

We learn tender lessons in the valleys and in the wilderness.

And what we learn from those difficult times are more precious than diamonds, which by the way, ... undergo between 1 billion and 3.3 billion years of pressure to become a strong, beautiful gemstone.

I also like to think of the Holy Spirit as my internal Housekeeper. As soon as He moves in, He starts to slowly move out clutter such as anger, unforgiveness, self-centeredness, bad thoughts and starts replacing them with kindness, self-control, self-sacrifice, forgiveness.

We’re developing a pattern and mindset of becoming humble before the Lord so that His will is done and He is honored and glorified.

A pure heart will be childlike, not childish. We should love with no strings attached, trust God in all our circumstances, be eager to help others without expecting anything in return, or bragging about the good deeds we do.

The person (or people) you plant that seed in may eventually learn the value of peace. You can merely plant the seed, but you can’t accept peace for them.

For many, the world is a hard place to live in, and as Christians, it is our duty to make sure we are the light for those who are living in the dark.

The end goal should always be to lead a lost or hurting soul to salvation or acceptable transformation in the way they live.

Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret . I recently bought a new four-pack of  Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore. As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per r...

Easy Way to String Green Beans and Slow Cook Them

Before I accidentally discovered this amazing trick that I'm going to share with you this morning , I would get so frustrated trying to string green beans. More than half of the time, I either would not be able to pull the strings off at all or the string would break before I reached the other end of the bean. For a reason I can't remember, after washing the green beans, I did what I'm telling you below, and I was able to string my green beans with ease. It was amazing!  Put green beans in a bowl of water. Place the bowl of green beans in the fridge overnight. The next day, the strings are easy to pull off the green beans.  If you have plenty of green beans to string, you'll want to remove about a handful from the cold water at a time - and place the green beans remaining in the water back into the fridge so the beans won't get warm before you finish stringing them. In other words, the strings pull off better when they are colder. And the beans break better, too, if...

I AM: Meditation 5

I want you to go ahead and prepare for today's meditation by getting your  relaxing music/sounds (if you want),  tissues, and water ready. Have your journal ready for today's entry after our session. Find a comfortable sitting position, and place your praying hands against your chest near your heart. Release any tension, starting with your forehead and your jaws. Next, your neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands, fingers. Finally, your hips, thighs, calves, ankles, feet, and toes. Let those stressors fade away. Let calm replace them. Relax. Listen to Meditation 5 . Today's meditation is based on Exodus 3:13-15 New Living Translation (NLT): Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahw...
