More precisely...peace in my home


I have a dream.

Praying for peace over me, I will not let the enemy take this from me!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

Let the peace of God be among us all now & forever. TBTG ;-)

"Lord make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope..."

We know how to organize warfare, but do we know how to act when confronted with peace?

-- Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Peace is the only battle worth waging.

-- Albert Camus (1913-1960)

Tucked in with a sleeping angel under one arm and my bible in the other. Can't think of a better way to end the day. ❤

Do you know what astonished me most in the world? The inability of force to create anything. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the spirit. Soldiers usually win battles and generals get the credit for them. You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war. If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.

-- Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

Peace, to have meaning for many who have only known suffering in both peace and war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health and education, as well as freedom and human dignity.

Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.

-- Buddha (560-483 B.C.)

Democracy is an objective. Democratization is a process. Democratization serves the cause of peace because it offers the possibility of justice and of progressive change without force.

May the peace of God be amongst us, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for evermore ;-)

There is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking activity.

The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.

-- Black Elk (1863-1950)

There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.

In some ways, the challenges are even more daunting than they were at the peak of the cold war. Not only do we continue to face grave nuclear threats, but those threats are being compounded by new weapons developments, new violence within States and new challenges to the rule of law.

May you have a peaceful day :)

I feel relaxed and at peace right now. Everything is quite and calm. I'm about to find something to watch on Netflix:)

Peace be with us, now and forevermore :-) TBTG

Peace is achieved through a conscious decision to love your neighbor as yourself.

Raymond Watts....still waiting on you to take this one....zzzZZZzzz

Lord, let us walk in your peace, love one another, forgive ourselves and others...

Feeling much more peaceful today I'm grateful to say

May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, be with us always.

Today is one of those days I internalize to remember when it seems peace is far away. Simple, natural beauty abounds on this gorgeous Spring day, a peaceful setting indeed :)

The Gospel according to John 14:18-31 (NRSV)
26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
28 You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. TBTG

Peace and quiet would be so nice. Crazy weekend!
