Words to Live by..Trust and Peace

 As we put our Trust in God, he will give us His Peace. Every day there is a struggle within us. We may not even realize it to start with. We get up each morning, dress, maybe make our beds then make us a cup of coffee or Tea. Then I often think, "OK" what do I need to do today? 

 Choices, oh so many that it can make us a little stressful. It can be like a roller coaster ride. I remember when I was younger riding one, the minute it started up, I wanted to get off.  Do you ever feel this way about your life?  

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

John 14:24

When we have placed our total Trust and Faith in our Lord he will give us Peace.  God's Spirit will lead us and assure us, we can have perfect peace.

The peace our Savior gives us as we trust Him, transcends all understanding. Life will have it's ups and downs, but our Savior, who loves us more that life, is greater than them all.

Focus, Trust, and have Peace!

A Bend in the Roas

I found this poem on my

Facebook feed and thought

it was so true. Sometimes

we get down and sad thinking

things will never change or get better,

they do, if stop and think about

it, each new day brings something

different.  How wonderful that it

does bring new things to see, maybe

a blue sky, a dove that flies up

in top of a tree, a neighbor that drives

by and waves to say hello. 

Each day is a blessing and tomorrow 

will bring something new, just look

around and be thankful things doesn't

stay the same.

Have a Peaceful Afternoon!

A PLACE OF QUIET REST

There are days when you may need

to find a place to get away from all

life's pressure's. All the noise around

us, the TV, computer, and yes even

people.

We long for peace and quiet. 

"Come ye yourselves apart into a desert

place, and rest a while"

Mark 6:30

We can find that place where we love to go

and sit quietly so we can enjoy all of God's 

beauty around us. 

Maybe alone on a beach listening to the ocean

waves.

Maybe a green meadow surrounded by trees and 

mountains.

Or just a walk and enjoy nature.

There we may reflect on all that God has

done in our life.

His love and mercy, the blessings we may 

take for granted each day.

Where ever we find that place we can have

peace and feel His presence. We can cast all

our burdens on Him and have God filled peace 

that the world has taken away. That place

can only be found in our relationship with our 

Lord Jesus.

"There is a place of quiet rest,

near to the heart of God,

A place where all is joy and peace'

Near to the heart of God."

(Mcafee)

When we spend Time with God,

we will find our quiet place.

Have a Blessed Sunday!

Peaceful Blessings

"To be blessed by the Lord...

To be Kept by the Lord...

To feel His radiant face

shining upon me...

To know His Gracious Grace

was being bestowed upon me...

To know the Beauty of His Divine

countenance beholding my face...

and to be given His peace, which

passes all understanding.

Look UP !

"I Looked UP"

I looked down and I found that everything

looked real bad,

I looked back and I saw so many things 

that were sad,

I looked up and I could feel the sunshine

on my face,

I felt love and peace and God's 

healing grace.

I realized everyday what I needed

to do,

No matter what I was doing or

going through,

If I looked down I missed the hope and

strength for the day,

If I looked back I'd dwell on things I could

never change anyway.

Looking up I would find all that I need,

I'd have a reason to keep trying,

knowing with God I'd succeed.

When I'm down and feeling like there is 

no hope around,

I look up and I realize where true

hope is found,

When I look back and I worry about what

has already been done,

I look up and I see the battles are over

And my Father has already won!!

Keep your eyes on Jesus the source of true

Peace, He will guide you with His eye!

Have a Blessed Day!
