What does peace look like in your life?
Is it saying hello to the garbage collectors or cleaning ladies? Is it refraining from chastising your roomates about their uncleanly habits? Is it telling your professor that you appreciate their words of wisdom and enjoy their class? Is it letting a friend know how much you love them? Is it allowing your significant other to have the last say and win the petty argument?
We are so blessed to live in a county that isn't experiencing war. We can wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise without worrying about walking outside. We lay our heads down on soft pillows each not to a lulling silence that is void of distant bombs and gun shots. Peace is essentially everywhere in our lives. It's given to us, yet we don't readily acknowledge or realize that and how lucky we are.
So take a moment and reflect on the peace in your life. Be thankful for the areas where it's present. And in those places where you could use some peace, work at trying to remedy the conflict, so peace can shine like the sun on a bright summer afternoon.

"Seek peace and pursue it"
