"Imagine all the people, living life in peace." -- John LennonIn my search for inner peace, I've realized that I have a lot of work to do. It's hard to focus on what area of my life needs more tending to. It's tough--making a conscious effort daily to recognize those characteristics that need changing to find the peace that I crave.
I recently joined a Bible Study that is providing me the tools to create peace in my life and that of my family's. The author of the book we're reading listed a number of activities to do in the effort to create a purposeful, peaceful home. So here they are. (From Finding Your Purpose as a Mom, by Donna Otto with Anne Christian Buchanan, Copyright 2004, Harvest House Publishers.)
And may you and yours live your lives in peace.
- Make peace at home a priority.
- Practice trust and gratitude.
- Live with a thankful heart.
- Cultivate a quiet heart--give yourself the peace you need.
- Cultivate a gentle spirit.
- Learn to speak softly.
- Know your family.
- Cultivate a spirit of "we."
- Provide peaceful places for those you love.
