From Jim – again. (It’s nice to have some time off!)
This is the season when we say “Peace on Earth, goodwill to men”.
Heidi and I seem to be searching far and near for peace in this house. Case in point, last night as I was cleaning the kitchen, I noticed the kitchen lights above me vibrating severely after hearing loud crashes from the room above – the boys’ room. Thanks to a new Nerf basketball hoop and ball they received as a gift, their room is now a half-court arena. However, these boys are football players who, to my knowledge, never legitimately touched a basketball before. So this game was more of a destroy-the-guy-with-the-ball-before-he-shoots kind of game. Today I have to spackle all nail pops in the ceiling…
As I was reflecting in the quietness of the morning on “peace”, I resolved that despite the craziness of life at times (especially living in a heavily trafficked suburb during Christmas-shopping season), I have no reason to complain – at all. I dialed up CNN and glanced quickly at the top news stories:
Jim,
Thanks for sharing this. My heart and thoughts were in the same place this morning as I ran along the peaceful lakeshore watching the beautiful sunrise and listening to worship and praise music. We are truly blessed with the peace we enjoy.
Mom
