"Peace on earth" is part of the declaration of the heavenly host from Luke 2 in the account of Jesus' birth. It seems to be a statement that the Prince of Peace has now arrived,' things are being set right in the world, God has sent the provision for your total well-being!
This week we received the same huge winter snowstorm that blanketed much of the midwest. I think a good snowstorm creates a sense of 'peace' in so many ways. When the snow has stopped falling, the countryside looks clean, sparkling, glistening, and peaceful. It forces you to stay inside, slow down, and do things you have been putting off--things like writing letters, baking, spending more time as a family, and gathering around cozy places. I think a heavy snowfall is a positive thing once in a while!
Pictured here is my garden sign, "PEACE," now almost buried in snow. Also pictured is "Mrs. Wren's house" with snow on the roof! Blessings of peace to you in this wonderful season, LORI
