Peace

What comes to mind when you reflect on peace? Is peace sitting on a tall mountain overlooking the city? Is it perhaps sitting on a beach watching the waves wade on and off shore while the wind blows through your hair? Is it being curled up on the couch reading a novel on a rainy day? Doesn't those things sound relaxing?

That's because this is exactly what peace is--relaxing. You are away from the kids, the job, and your family to relax. No one near to disturb your alone time. However, what I just described to you is not peace. This is nothing more than a distraction. You temporarily remove yourself from your problems. When your alone time is over, your life restarts again. You chase the wind of life hoping for another distraction. When I speak of peace, I'm talking about peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). A peace that makes no sense. A heavenly peace. I'm talking about never having to cry again. Never having to feel pain again. Never lose anyone to death again. Never having an enemy. Never having to work. Because God shall wipe away all tears from your eyes and there shall be no more death, sorrow, or pain (Revelations 21:4). That is true peace. Have you had one of those days? Me neither, but I'm sure looking forward to it on that glorious Day! How about you? Now sit quietly and try to image what that feels and looks like.

Understanding It Better By and By

Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of. When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do. When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable. Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say. I'm not in that situation right now. There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits. Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs. Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows. He won't have you guessing long. The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before. Instead of getting angry with God regarding your circumst

I Got You!

Do you remember going to the arcades? You and your friends’ old rendezvous spot, battling for the top spot in one of the popular games. While you guys horsed around, a group of troublemakers bullied their way onto the machines? Your posy band together vowing to have each other’s back. Now days, every man for himself. Someone will call 911 for you, any more than that would be heroic (Romans 5:7). No one takes on any man’s cause anymore. The back-in-the-day phrase was "I got your back."

I Didn't See That Coming

Arriving at work, I put my lunch bag in the refrigerator, fired up the computer and entered my logged on. The phone rang. "This is Ms. Swanson," I told the caller. "Yes, right away." I hung up the phone, reached for my keys and raced downstairs asking God to provide what I need from the spiritual realm. I wasn’t sure what I would run up against. A policeman was at my car writing a ticket. One of the sergeants’ saw my handicap placard on the seat and called me to come down quickly. While racing to the car, I noticed my IPhone watch on my arm. I wasn't allowed to wear it at work, especially with security violation written all over the action. I forgot to take it off! Supposed someone saw it, I could lose my job. Right at that moment I remembered to get my retainer from my purse when I put it in the truck. It could melt in the heat, costing a replacement cost of $300. All I can say is, "I didn't see that coming!" Do you know who else
