Peace...a Gift.

I don't have a long blog post today. Well, not long for me anyway. Shocked? I KNOW!

But God showed me "peace" this morning during my time with Him and I just felt led to share a tidbit with you.

"Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me." John 14:1

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27 (NASB)

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.' Colossians 3:15

My hope for each of you today is that .....
.....no matter what this day brings, you will feel His love.
.....no matter what you encounter that might be negative, He will give you comfort.
.....no matter what you have to endure, you will feel His strength.

And if you have cause to celebrate something spectacular today, and I hope you do...
.....May you stop amidst all the hoopla and give Him thanks and Praise His Holy Name!

But no matter what your day brings, we can all celebrate Jesus and what He did for us -- that's more than spectacular, don't you think? Can I get an Amen?

Have a blessed day, dear friends. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be with you today and everyday!

I have the house to myself today and time to write. Aah. That brings me peace.

I've been celebrating this month. The story I've been revising finaled in two contests, which is so encouraging.

I hope you have a special day filled with blessings.
