A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Peacemakers

Read: 1 Samuel 25:14-35

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. —Matthew 5:9

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 30-31; John 18:1-18


Abigail was a remarkable woman! She was a true peacemaker whose courage spared the future king of Israel from committing a terrible sin. Here's her story:

David had been forced to live in the countryside to escape King Saul's jealous wrath. A group of about 600 men and their families had gathered around him. For several months they camped near Carmel where the flocks of Nabal (Abigail's husband) were grazing. David's men had helped Nabal's shepherds protect the sheep from robbers. Now the shearing time had come, and David sent messengers to request some compensation from Nabal, who was a wealthy man. But he refused and treated David's men with disdain.

In anger David rashly decided to kill Nabal and all the men in his household. When Abigail heard what had happened, she quickly gathered a large supply of food, intercepted David and his fighting men, and humbly apologized for her husband's surly behavior. David immediately realized that she had prevented him from carrying out a vengeful decision, and he praised God (1 Samuel 25:32).

Are we as quick to resolve a conflict? Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). —Herb Vander Lugt

How blest are those who persevere
To bring a conflict to an end;
And if the peace of Christ takes hold,
An enemy becomes a friend. —D. De Haan

You can be a peacemaker if you have God's peace in your heart.

Peacemaker is a full-time job. But the pay is great.

I had to get involved in a war between two of my neighbors last night. It will be a long process to get them back on track but good progress was made.

It is one of my lifelong roles. I am the third of six children. This is the order oldest to youngest; brother 56, sister 54, me 50, sister 49, brother 46, brother 42.

When we were children, I broke up fights and was never in the fight. As an adult I am frequently called on by a sib to help settle something with a sib.

I am the peacemaker, the entertainer, the trendsetter, the historian, the ..... This also applies to the workplace or anywhere I am. It is a lot of pressure but when things go right it is worth it.

Bullies never bothered me because they were afraid I'd make them feel bad or look silly.

in so many ways I am the same.

#3 child of 9 with 2 older sisters
3 girls and 6 boys, I am the oldest son.

I hear from everyone in the family when there is a problem.
I am not shy about voicing my opinion and calling a spade a spade.

"I hear from everyone in the family when there is a problem.

Me too. My strangest trait is that I step in even uninvited. That action tends to disarm the warring parties. Then as I explain why it is my business I start making progress. I don't know where I learned this but it is very effective.
