you're not at peace with yourself."
"What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children...not merely peace in our time but peace for all time." ~ J. F. Kennedy ~
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

"Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ, the Light of the world, to you.
Deep peace of Christ."
~ Gaelic Blessing ~
"Peace I leave with you
My peace I give you
Not as the world gives do I give to you
Let not your heart be troubled
Neither let it be afraid."
~ John 14:27 ~

What are these sheep on the photo, so nice brown coat and white head??
Dori, I saw those sheep at 2017 Wool Fest in Cockermouth, England. I can't remember the breed but they are beautiful!
DeleteYes, they really are beautiful! My sister also read this post about peace!
DeleteIt was peaceful to come here and read all these great quotes on peace. Peace to you...
ReplyDeleteand to you Ellen. It's worth a lot to live peacefully.
DeleteLove reading your blog, as you know. And, those sheep make me HAPPY !!
ReplyDeleteSheep always make me happy!
DeleteThis Gaelic Blessing is a help, a reminder that I need only to look around me--and turn off the news, or should I say beg the master of the house to turn it off!
ReplyDeleteAre these your sheep? They are so pretty.
Those sheep were at WoolFest, held in Cockermouth, England. I went last year, had a blast and saw so many sheep not in this country. When Dave died, I gave up subscription television; my life became a lot quieter and more peaceful. A Blessing!
