Sharon 1587 6727 Trenton	When looking for PEACE, these environments are not where I choose to look. My "friend" Tom Moore tells a story about peace that I hope you will enjoy. 10/31/2007 3:08:33 PM
	Today is one of those dreaded days! My loving Debbie (I'll get even) made both of us appointments for a physical. Ugh! Therefore my morning has produced very little in the spiritual realm where I would rather spend most of my time. Seeing the *Doctor* *was not enough, he sent her to Skyline Medical Center for blood work. My blood work was done in his office (go figure). I still ended up at Skyline for* *chest x-rays. Prescriptions to fill and then finally home to eat something. We were told not to eat prior to the physicals. When looking for PEACE, these environments are not where I choose to look. My "friend" Tom Moore tells a story about peace that I hope you will enjoy. There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would Paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw beh ind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird* on her nest... perfect peace. Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? “Because,” explained the King, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.” “In nothing be *anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-7). Remember, Paul was in prison when he wrote these words ! Think About It! Have a peaceful day!
