Peace...

"I take it that what all men are really after is some form of, perhaps only some formula of, peace." - James Conrad


Went to the Memorial Day parade in my hometown today. We're kind of an old-fashioned type town with tree-lined streets, victorian-era houses, small downtown district. It's things like parade days that I enjoy living where I live. Watching the kids in the parade and the people cheering and clapping along the sidewalks gives me a sense of peace. Peace is hard to come by in this day and age with 24 hour access to entertainment, news, & commerce.

We all need to take a little time, turn off the television, put the cellphone on standby, sit outside and listen. Listen for the peace inside your heart. Did you fall today? Something not go right? Having a crappy day? Take a little time to listen to the peace that is waiting inside your heart.

Take time to step back and look at the situation your in at a different angle. What can you learn from it? Did you overeat? What caused it? What can you do differently next time?

Thank the Lord today for the tribulation you are going through today and ask for the peace to face it competently.

And God bless our troops, both from former, current, & future conflicts to protect our nation and other nations around the world.

"Let there be peace on earthAnd let it begin with me." - Seymour Miller & Jill Jackson
