finding peace

12/12/11

I have the word peace scattered about my home as a reminder that no matter what is going on in my world, peace is possible.



Finding peace this last week has been a little more difficult for me.  I have needed to be deliberate and really seek it.  But it is there...



Tucked behind the troubles that are crowding the front of my mind, wanting to move forward and provide the comfort that my heart is so longing for.  That gentle assurance that no matter the outcome, all is well with my soul.


As I sit and watch the fireplace glowing, I am so thankful for my safe haven, my cozy little home, surrounded by the things that bring me joy and peace.  I pray you feel it where ever you are, too.

  3. Patty, I'm not sure what you're going through exactly, but I'm really glad you're having a better week. God will give you the peace you need (as you know) if you only rest in Him. I love having words like that scattered around my home, too! :) They have helped me out of dark places.
    One thing that is anything but that is your beautiful, cozy home!! I love it! I think I've told you before, but that chair just screams Coffee Break and a good book! :D
    Christmas Blessings

  4. Patty,
    You have created a peaceful, contemplative nook. I feel more at ease just viewing it. I think, perhaps, that a home reflects the spirit of the person who lives within it.

    In the mist of such business at this time of year it is easy to lose our peace.
    I'm glad you've found rest in the
    'Prince of Peace"-Our Saviour.
    What a great idea to have a pillow as a reminder to seek his peace!

  8. Looks like a very cozy spot to curl up for reading. I love that book stack with the special candle on top.
    Take care, grab a cup of tea and enjoy a few minutes there in your chair.

  13. Sometimes life can be such a struggle and often find myself asking how did life get so difficult. I hope your quest to seek peace in your world is comforting. Thank you for sharing, on a lighter note your home looks ready for Christmas. I will follow on my way out so I can pop back and chat. I hope you will find the time to come visit my place and do the same. Whilst I am here I will wish you a very Merry Christmas just in case I dont get the chance later. Take Care Cheers SpecialK XoXo
