My brain is tired. My body is tired. And I don't have much to say, so I'm typing out Matthew 5:1-12 for you. Hopefully I'll get it right. If I don't, I'm trying =)
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain,and when He was set there, His disciples came up to Him. And opening His mouth, he taught them, saying,
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are those that are merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacekeepers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile against you and speak evil for you, Rejoice and be glad for great is your reward in heaven. Just as they do unto you, they did to the prophets before you."
Ok...let's see how I did. (And I'm memorizing the King James version, but my checksheet is in another translation, so it might be just a little different.) Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall recieve mercy. Blessed are the poor in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness'/ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Not too bad. Sorry to bore you. Praying that those who mourn will be comforted tonight. God bless!
