Peace

Sorry another tidbit from Beth Moore. This weeks fruit that we are studying is PEACE. On the first day of homework, she goes on and on about how important peace is and a must have or else, etc. I kinda though "really? is it THAT important?" Not that i don't want peace, but i thought maybe some other ones would come first....Well then it dawned on me. Every night when i pray for the twins, i pray that God would give them PEACE in their hearts. They are still fussier then most 2 year olds and i just feel strongly that they are lacking in the happiness department. After thinking about that, i find it interesting that I don't pray for JOY in their hearts, or PATIENCE...(they could use that too!). But no, i pray for PEACE. Every night. So without realizing it, i guess i do agree with Beth. Peace IS important! You can't have the other fruit if you don't have peace! That goes for everyone. Not just fussy 2 year old twins :) What a challenge, what a realization.

"The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace"
