Making the Most of this Day
I burst out of my cocoon to fly a little today. It feels so good. I am on a mission. Get toilet paper. I have inside info. Walmart’s truck will be here at 10 am. I am in line for my one-only big package of TP and paper towels. Mission accomplished! Woohoo! Next, I go…
An Old Story That Can Bring Us Hope
It’s in almost every conversation. We can’t help it. The effects of the coronavirus are certainly beyond any plague or disease pandemic that I have seen or heard of in my life. I mean – a pandemic that is causing businesses to send their people home to work virtually; causing schools to shut down and…
I Promise You — True Peace is Possible
I know that true peace from the true peace that was modeled for me by my “peace-filled” mom. Tough times didn’t overtake her peace. It almost seemed she was in a bubble of peace that no-one or no-thing could pop that bubble. I’m so grateful she modeled that peace for me, because that’s the peace…
I Choose Peace!
Not too long ago, I was in a group meeting and it seemed no matter what I said, there was a gal that continued to contradict something I said. I was starting to tally the number of times she interrupted my train of thought to disprove something I said. My emotions were starting to go…
Peace is my Governor
Governor – a device automatically regulating the supply of fuel, steam, or water to a machine, ensuring uniform motion or limiting speed I learned so much about peace from my precious mother — lessons that I learned from her many years of taking care of my daddy who was very ill, working a full time…
Doing Our Best to Stay in Peace
Watching the news report of another devastating hurricane approaching the U.S. coasts — I continue to pray for divine intervention for those precious souls who are evacuating and have no idea what they will come home to – if anything at all. Last night my church held a Holy Hour to pray for all those…
BE the EYE of the Storm
I remember my 7th grade science class enough to know about the “eye” of the storm — that still, calm, quiet place in the middle of a storm. As I read the post I made 7 years ago during one of the greatest storms of our lives, I realized that God kept us in the…
Peace is Possible….Even in the Midst of a Storm
In my post, yesterday, I mentioned that maintaining peace is what I protect the most. I do my best to stir clear of conflict and if, by chance, that I do encounter some less than peaceful moments, I just ease in closer to my Prince…..of Peace. Since I know that Jehovah Shalom, my God of…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, a sweet new friend I’ve met here in Austin, asked me for the website for my daily blog. Not only do I blog on my Google website, but I also post it here on Facebook: http://livinginthepeacezone.blogspot.com/ I started blogging years ago, back when it would have seemed I had every right in the world…
What is PERFECT Peace?
A couple of weeks ago, I awoke with the words “perfect peace” going on in my mind. I’m always quoting Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I don’t think I’ve ever thought about PERFECT peace before. What is PERFECT peace? I did…
