041 | A Prayer For God's Blessing In Our Marriage

On this Thursday Thought, we reflect on what it means to be blessed. We'll discover how being blessed is not about what we have (or don't have) but rather the presence of God in our lives. We reflect on Stanley Hauerwas' invitation to consider the Beatitudes, those beautiful "Blessed are..." from Matthew 5 and what this might mean for our marriage: Too often the Beatitudes are turned into ideals we must strive to attain. But Jesus does not tell us that we should try to be poor in spirit, or meek, or peacemakers. He simply says that many who are called into his kingdom will find themselves so constituted. Stanley Hauerwas, "Jesus Changes Everything" Next Steps In this episode, we share the story of our journey through infertility. We understand that the journey of infertility is painful.
