peace of God

There are some things in life that never cease to amaze me. While some people find themselves in the situation of a painful grief others find themselves in a situation of overwhelming joy. Finally, there are those who find themselves in a situation of what first seems like pain, but later has the potential for joy. It seems in my life, or in my "world" I see too often this similar story. While I don't take for granted the unbelievable blessings in my life I do wonder at the complexity of God's will for me. It never seems to turn where I think it will, nor does it ever continue in harmony when I think it's about time. It's much like a carnival ride.

Despite it all there is always an all-consuming peace that lingers among the ticking seconds of each event and moment. At one second I may be perfectly content and the next be sad for the unexpected grief of life, but always surrounded in the peace that passes all understanding. I praise God for these moments when it's not too hard to look back, not too hard to stand still and finally not to hard to move on. For move on we must.

While many do not understand or know of what I speak of for this day, you will know soon. Whether you choose to judge, choose to love or choose to simply go about your way, we all will feel the peace of God. For some it is a breeze against our skin others a roar of rushing wind, but it comes....it always comes.
