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."

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Happy hunting to you and Bo. Did you get some rain?

We may get some of that cold air later this week. Only we're forecast to be in the low 20's.

It did rain here. Bo and I did get some lake time yesterday.

As to Bedlam, OU beat OSU 38-20.

Were you rooting for one over the other?

I watched Penn State and Wisconsin...all Wisconsin in the first half and then all Penn in the second and they won. It was a good game.

Sounds like the Oklahoma’s had a good game, too.

Not really. Friends and family are from both.

I gotta do something about that coat. She doesn’t like the armholes.

Out comes the sewing machine!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Have you figured out how to alter Penny’s coat?

My sister is coming to visit from Maine, and we will probably work on it together.

Fun Times!
