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.

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

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...
