SOTM: Blessings for a Pandemic, Pt 1

At the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus made eight
proclamations about what it looks like to be "blessed." These
proclamations, known as "the beatitudes," aren't what we'd normally
say before a #blessed social media post. In fact they're the
opposite. These blessings are always relevant, but they are
especially important to remember when we're in the midst of
difficult times.
