Advent Beatitudes

You are blessed …
blessed to have this home and this community of like souls, damaged alike souls, broken to find God in each other, opening …
blessed to sleep in this warm, dry, bed, alone or with one you love …
blessed to wake with the Sun over the mountains your Parents gave you …
blessed to have in your pocket the collective wisdom of humanity, and all those you chose to know along the way, only a series of digits away …
blessed to have a fridge full of food, from all over the world, to share with anyone who asks …
blessed to breathe clean mountain air, free from war, and rumors of war …
blessed to have a mind embodied, able to rise to the opportunity to enjoy all these things …
You are blessed, doubly blessed, if you feel the lack of any of these. For you are reminded to ask the children of the Most High to help you achieve all you need, for yourself, and all those around you.
You are blessed.
