Peace.
For most of my life, peace has eluded me.
So much of life is full of frantic activity, problems, and seeking solutions to them, appointments, difficulties, and so on.
It's challenging to find peace amid the chaos and busyness of life.
One of the advantages of getting older is seeking and then finding peace.
If a telemarketer calls early in the morning, even before we have had a chance to drink coffee, such a call can be an opportunity to find peace.
"Oh, thanks, I don't discuss that over the telephone. Have a nice day and thanks for calling." Then, hang up.
Years ago, that would be something I'd never dream of doing but I do it now.
Everyone deserves to have the gift of peace in their lives.
Time goes by so quickly so no one really should have to wait until late in life to find peace.
It is there, in our own hearts.
We are the masters of our destinies.
We have the right to say, "No thanks, I need to be peaceful."
Amen.
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU CAN PUT A STOP TO, IN ORDER TO FIND PEACE? CAN YOU SHARE WITH US?
