We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, patience creates unity.
You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be a peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X (1925-1965) was an American human rights activist.
Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.
From John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
Sheila Walsh (born 1956) is a Scottish-born, American contemporary Christian vocalist. Her journey has also taken her into writing, speaking, and evangelizing.
Darkness hides
Morning’s reception
Silence riddles chilly air
Mellow breeze
Wind chimes serenade
Peace soothing this resting soul
Candle glows
Dancing shadows play
Frolicking, flickering flame
Hot coffee
Early, steady mate
Comforting, every drop
Good ol’ friend
Morning hums with fun
Feeling the caffeine-fueled boost
Dawn’s twilight
Distant horizon
Breaking through hardheaded clouds
Music plays
Tunes stir memories
Jukebox sings with sunrise joy

Another chapter
Feeling all cozy and warm
Dreams invite
Delightful journey
Buzzing, unmistaken joy
Snooze button
Calling, “Please hit me”
Let’s start all over . . . again!

Nights sleeping longer
Forgetting summer
September’s move to autumn—
Leaves express color
From the words of American poet, Helen Hunt Jackson: “By all these lovely tokens, September days here with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.”

There cannot be any peace where there is uncertainty.
From Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher. He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.
Nature’s rendezvous
Tasting every breath of grace—
Tomorrow can wait
Morning peace gathers
Hiking on destiny’s trails—
Close to Creator
Joining for breakfast
Coffee plus conversation—
Life “over easy”
From John 14:23-24: “Jesus answered him, ‘Those who love me will keep My word, and My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words, and the word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.”
Called to daily worship
Time spent with Father’s Word
Sharing insight about life
His light no longer blurred
Worry replaced by faith
Closeness to Father’s voice
Praising every morning’s peace
His grace offers thee choice
Earthly things mean little
Truth found in Father’s Word
Seeking treasure in Heaven
His mercy freshly stirred
Wisdom gains its foothold
Nourished from Father’s voice
Understanding life’s purpose
His promises rejoice
From Psalm 18:13: “The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered His voice.”
