Peace like a river... may it flow all over you!

Good morning my friends. This week has been full of busy, busy stuff. I started out the week in Athens with my girls and then started a busy week of decorating, cleaning and playing catch up before I again have a full house for the next few weeks.


As I have spent each morning reading about Peace, I have discovered that God is just so good. (not that I did not already know that). But as I invested my time and my thoughts to His perspective, He gave me such peace all week. It has been another week of hard prayer requests from friends. Of phone calls about and meetings about wedding stuff. Of gathering and addressing wedding cards. Of making some tough decisions for our family. The everyday stuff of life that is always there even in the middle of the fun celebrations of the season.


But through it all His peace has flowed like a never ending river through my heart. Through my soul. Through my words and through my actions. Not because of anything I did in my own strength but through a quiet harnessed strength that held my heart tightly.


That strength is available for each of us. Every day. In every situation. With every breath that we take.


So my prayer for you today is this:

May the strength that is made strong in your weakness be 

so evident in your life today that those around you will notice 

that you are different. 

May the Peace that passes all understanding flow all over you like a river running over the rocks and filling the crevices as it goes. 

May you be filled to overflowing so that your Peace is then spilled out 

to those closest to you. 

May you know that you are loved and cherished and understood and protected by a Mighty Warrior.

Please let Jesus reach down and lift your chin. Look full in His wonderful face. The things of this world will grow dim in comparison and you too will have Peace. Rest in it today.
