Im in a good mood at the moment. Saturday morning, sun is out, in my comfy clothes... Everything is just ok for once. Peace. Not true peace of course, but an overall condition where just about anything can be accepted as it is, and what cant be accepted doesnt need to be worried about. Friends who care, a good book, and the ability to sit back for a second and just be.
But one cant stay like this forever. No, in many ways that would be... foolish? Maybe thats not the right word. A good quote by Will Rogers: "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." This world could use more peaceful moments. But in order to bring them about, someone's gotta go out and spread it! I dont have years and years of guilt and grudges polluting my peace, because I know it's been forgiven. Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of times when Im restless, worried, confused, mad, exasperated... happens constantly, every day of every week of every year, and will continue to for the rest of my life. And yet, I can let it go once it's run its course. It seems to me that peace is a state of mind, a state of living, more than a mere feeling.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which, transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7
