Dear Family,

We all know what “well, bless your heart!” means don’t we? It’s not exactly a blessing. Still, even though we don’t often use the word “blessing” in our everyday life, we know that it’s actually a good thing. It implies God’s favor. It calls up the idea of flourishing and thriving. That’s what this mini-series isabout—thriving, flourishing,…the future. I can’t wait to share Jesus’ vision for the future with you. It’s beautiful and inspiring and world changing and we absolutely must pick it up and run with it. Join us in looking at Matthew 5 and the beatitudes.
