A Place of Peace
We live in a world where there is a lot of turmoil, but within you there is a
place of peace. In your workplace you
may find people who are critical and unappreciative, but within you there is a place of peace. You may find times in your
family when people you care about are frustrated and not understanding, but within you there is a place of peace. Daily the
news reports war and violence, but within you there is a place of peace. There are those in government and positions
of authority that will make decisions that you recognize do not serve the greatest good, but within you there is a place of
peace. When you drive on the highway there are people who follow too close or cut in front of you, but within you there is
a place of peace. There are times when it seems like you have more to be done than you have time for, but within you there
is a place of peace. There are times when you are relaxing and phone solicitors call and disturb your rest, but within you
there is a place of peace. There are times when financial needs seem greater than the resources, but within you there
is a place of peace. There are invitations in your life to respond with righteous indignation at the callous or insensitive
actions of others, but within you there is a place of peace.
What we contribute to the world depends not on the things that are in our lives, but on our responses to them.
Thank you for contributing your peace.
-- Rev. David McArthur
