Moments of Peace

Although peace is a concept that takes on many meanings for many people, for this discussion we are not talking about the peace that should always rule our hearts and minds no matter what our circumstances, nor are we talking about world peace. I am referring to those moments of peace where all seems to be in the right place - children are all happy and fed, everyone has jobs they go to and seem to like, bills are paid for now, groceries in the frig, food on the table - I could go on and on. Those "moments of peace" seem to come very rarely - little pieces of peace, if you will, when things all seem to line up and fall into place. They pop up here and there - something goes right unexpectedly - something happens to pleasantly surprise you - a chore goes easier or an expense turns out to be cheaper than expected. Hang on to those. Cherish them. Don't just rush on past them - be thankful for them. Because if your life is like mine - those moments of peace pass in a flash and it may be awhile until another one comes along. Have a thankful weekend and watch for some moments of peace to pop up in your life!
