Knowing Peace

Knowing peace… 


While most days are very enjoyable for me, this time of the year is very special. 


To see folks filled with a spirit of giving, hearts focused on helping, and the genuine spirit of joy and hope I see in others humbles me and brings feelings of gratefulness. 


Now it’s only my opinion from my own experiences, and I am sure it is different for others, but I believe that this is the time of year where folks open their hearts and let the love inside overflow to be shared with others


Race, religion, color, creed, culture, and belief systems are set aside, and for the better part of this month we set aside our differences and celebrate our common journey. 


For me, this is how Christ works in us and through us. 


Maybe that is why there are so many Christmas songs that have the words peace and love in them! 


Are you feeling peace?… 


Check your experience… 


“We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.” Big Book pg. 84 


Lord, let the peace of your Spirit fill our hearts and overflow to cover our relationships with others, AMEN. 


“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.” Colossians 3:15 


Have a blessed day Y’all! 


Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!
