What does it mean???

Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men.....


What does it mean to have Peace on Earth. We hear this phrase and many like it during the Christmas season. But have we ever really stopped to think about what it means. It seems a contradiction in terms when you consider that our country has its brave men and women in uniform involved in 2 separate armed conflicts. Peace, is it a place or a state of mind? The more and more I think about it, it has become a state of mind for me. Can I have peace whether things are smooth or whether I am in the midst of a raging storm.

May your state of mind this Christmas season be one of Peace on Earth and in so doing/being may it provoke us to have good will toward all men.

P.S. Make a point to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all you see instead of Happy Holidays. Its almost like people are afraid to say it anymore.

Hey bro, did you have peace at the mall tonight when I popped you in the head? Sorry about that, but it was a bit humorous...at least for me!

Yeah, Peace is a state of mind and it seems harder to come by in the storm. Sometimes I think that God keeps the storm going just long enough so that we can break through to the peace. Excelent post, Thanks for it!!!
