One of Life's Greatest Gifts

Peace.

The feeling of peace, deep within the soul, is one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves at any time of the year.

It’s nothing we can find in the stores during sales. It cannot be ordered online or at warehouse businesses. Its price, however, is worth more than millions.

When people try to pull us onto their side of an argument, into simmering conflict, vie for peace. Stay out of the fray. Avoid the firing lines and walk away. Let the squabblers squabble all they want but avoid arguing, in the name of peace.

As the years pass, peace has become more and more important. It’s imperative not to let anything disturb peace for very long.

We have no control over certain situations in our lives. We have no control over people, places, or things happening in our lives or in anyone else’s life. We do, however, have control over one person....ourselves.

While we cannot possibly control what is happening to us, we can control how we respond. Our actions, decisions, and thoughts remain in our personal control.

No one can take away our serenity or our peace unless we let them.

Peace can be ours even if the world around us is spinning out of control. It is precious. It must be guarded and treasured for the priceless gift that it is.

Seek peace.
