Be Card

The start of a series of cards to be left anonymously with something on the back to complete the "Be..." "Be Grateful" "Be Yourself" "Be Kind" and so on with the hopes of bringing a smile to a random person.

  1. It's like Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley's Be-attitudes, which were originally Christ's Beatitudes, in the New Testament.
    The beatitudes are found at Matthew 5: 3-12

    Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Blessed are they who mourn,
    for they shall be comforted.

    Blessed are the meek,
    for they shall possess the earth.

    Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
    for they shall be satisfied.

    Blessed are the merciful,
    for they shall obtain mercy.

    Blessed are the pure of heart,
    for they shall see God.

    Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they shall be called sons of God.

    Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Gordon's beatitudes are:
    Be Prayerful
    Be Humble
    Be Grateful
    Be Clean
    Be True
    Be Positive
    Be Still
    Be Smart
    Be Involved

    I like this idea though, I like that we live in an LDS society and you could transform a concept completely overrun with religious connotation. You could turn this into something real and present--like,
    Be You
    Be Creative
    Be Here Now
    Be Present
    Be Happy
    Be Quirky
    Be Thoughtful
