The Prince Of Peace
January 31, 2012
Years ago I came to know a young man who rode with a motorcycle gang. He had grown up on a mission field where his parents served. When his family returned to the US, he seemed unable to adjust to life. He lived a troubled existence and was killed in a street fight with a rival gang.
Ive helped at many funeral services, but this was by far the most memorable. It was held in a park where there is a natural grassy bowl surrounding a small lake. His friends parked their bikes in a circle and sat on the grass around a friend and me while we conducted the service. We spoke simply and briefly about peace among warring factions and the inner peace that Jesus love can bring.
Afterward, a motorcycle gang member thanked us, started to walk away, but then turned back. Ive never forgotten his words. He said that he had a putt, a pad, and an old lady (a bike, apartment, and girlfriend), and then added, But I aint got no peace. So we talked about Jesus who is our peace.
Whether weve got a chopper or a Cadillac, a mansion or a tiny apartment, a loved one or no oneit makes no difference. Without Jesus, there is no peace. He said, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you (John 14:27). This gift is for all who trust in Him. Have you asked for His peace?
Lord, I want to have peace in my life.
To be at peace with You, with others, and with myself.
Your Word says that comes from You.
Please give me Your gift of peace. Amen.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.
Read: John 14:25-31
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.
John 14:27

Thank you, Borax Queen. Billie did such a good job making me gorgeous. LOL. It's all her doing. ;-)
I was beside myself when I couldn't find my dress (and my thin body!). Thank goodness yorkie knew where it was!

Hey! What’s THIS? Everybody sleeping everywhere! Heads on the table, asleep on the couches, the recliners, the floor! And, what is this mess? Plates, cups, glasses, silverware, napkins, leftovers (very little) everywhere.
It WAS a good party, wasn’t it?
My son is on his way to pick me up - we have a five hour drive ahead of us - and then I’ll be settling in with him, his wife and my two grandaughters for the next three weeks or so.
We’ll stay in touch - and again, my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your prayers! I don’t think I would have recovered so well without them, (in fact I KNOW I wouldn’t!!!)
((((HUGS))))
To: yorkie
The cleaning crew will be there shortly. They went out to breakfast. ;^)
Prayers will follow you to your son’s home.

At Amy's Place, we are ALL younger, thinner, more beautiful/handsome, smarter......we all have perfect hair styles, and wear the most stylish clothes. We enjoy line dancing, and jogging daily.
Of course I fantisize - but in the truest sense - we believe in ourselves and each other.

Luv, I’m so glad you could make it to the party! You looked STUNNING In your red dress and shawl, but I also liked the black one you wore to the New Year’s Eve party three years ago!! (We gurls never forget what our friends wore, and to where they wore it, do we?)
Son is not here yet - so I’m just hanging out. The staff here has been wonderful, and I shall miss each one!
