"Peace is not about the absence of conflict but the ability to deal with it." ~ author unknown ~

love your quotes and the scriptures! have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for entering my OWOH giveaway. I hope you'll be back to visit my blog soon!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I forget who is in charge....thanks for the scripture..
ReplyDeletePeace, as described in some of the quotes is actually a VERB! Who knew? Another thoughtful post Sandra, reminding me of Him and His ways of peace, the only true and real peace.
ReplyDeleteAll very profound but especially this "If you want to make peace you don't talk to your friends, you talk to your enemies." Now THAT will stick with me for a long time...
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear sister in Christ. I always leave here a changed person, and that is good news!
Peace is what we all need, beautiful pictures and statements. You found "peace" while visiting #541 on the OWOH Magic Carpet ride, and that is exactly what I want to give. Peace, harmony, calm, relaxation ....
ReplyDelete"In verdant pastures He gives me repose, beside restful waters He leadeth me", Psalm #23....I know I don't have the words exactly right but it's the meaning that is important, not the order of the words. God Bless. Peace, Julie
