Peace on the Journey

Extreme peace...that is the only way I can explain what I have been experiencing. How do we get peace?  Maybe it is in not fighting.  Simple to say, hard to carry out.  Not all gifts are great.  Sometimes He allows those things that make life hard. We need to trust that He is more concerned with our character than our comfort.  When we thank Him and accept what He brings into our lives the striving ceases and the peace begins...
