THE REAL MEANING OF PEACE

There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for the peaceful towering mountains all around. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall.

This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest ...perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

Currently 36 and in the 40’s for at least a week.
Your colder than us and we are usually colder with snow by now.
2 years ago we were buried and bitter cold by now.
Coldest winter on record, we needed a reprieve.

Good evening, Salvation, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

What a beautiful hymn. Thanks.

Did you and Penny have a fun day? Is she adjusting to her new coat?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Ms Feather...((hugs))...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Lovely candles. It’s 13 now and headed to below zero in a couple hours. Thankfully the past 2 days has brought us 6” of snow to hopefully protect the pipes.

Hope you are staying nice and warm.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope your reprieve stands for you.
