Peace came early…
The "fruit" (of the spirit) i decided (on Sunday) i needed more of in my life at the mo is peace. Sometimes the gloom and unsettledness settles(!) and needs to be banished. Peace seemed a good antidote to that. And today (in my fruit a day) is peace-day. So I was wondering what that might mean, having enjoyed joy! But it came in handy earlier as i spoke with my mum last night. Mum is in hospital following a hip fracture and surgery. And she's been suffering that gloom and angst that can sneak up on us at night, in dark and in pain. So i prayed peace for her, and we talked about practical ways to KNOW peace even when we don't feel it. And then a text from a friend who needs peace in her everyday reality. So my peace-emphasis, which i thought was going to be all about me, has become about others ... which, of course, helps me too. (for its in giving that we receive, and all that) Who are you praying peace for? (BTW Mum had a better night last night, yay)Posted by Lynne Taylor at 12:00 PM
