Maybe this could be a little "Christmasy" looking? I need to get out and photograph some more things. Some of my "oldies" from this past year will have to do.
Been taking back things that didn't fit and taking down the Christmas tree today . She was quite dry but did really well this year! I hate taking down the tree.... I am dreading the lights most of all which is why I am on here typing instead of in there doing just that!
Here is a thought for today:
Mankind defines peace as that moment when all of earth is without strife or war. If that were true, then peace would never find its defining moment here on earth, and the term most certainly would have disappeared from all human language centuries ago, an archaic dream.
Peace, then, can only be defined by God, given by Him, and bestowed upon the heart as the crowning prize when every trace of our self has been surrendered to the Father's will.
When all desire is lost in His, our life becomes a fertile plain - our heart the happy picking ground with peace the bounteous crop. It is upon this single plain of surrender that we can know true peace. It is the royal mark of our adoption, legally sealed by the blood of God's Son, Jesus Christ.
