850) When you hear the word peace, what do you picture? I see myself sitting on a swing on a porch in the cool of the morning. I hear birds singing and a breeze in the trees. I crave times like this, and I am reminded of the value of peace.

The life we live is often full of chaos and we can make the choice to continue it; to add fuel to the fire. The opposite is also true. We can bring peace to our lives and those around us; and when we do this, we are giving a gift from God. Peace reflects God. Matthew 5:9.
