Oh, what a peace….
Have you ever been in a situation where you find the atmosphere so light and enjoyable that you never want it to end? During this time you feel as if the world should just stand still.. Its like a breath of fresh air. A break from all the bad news on the radio or television. This feels like being away from the hustle and the bustle of a busy world. Does it really have to end? For this we have to be thankful and content.
Music can change moods….
As I rode home in the car with my family while listening to the sweet sounding inspirational music there was a moment of peace that made me feel like I would just keep driving for miles. I felt as if all the bad things in the world has stopped and only this peace existed. It was then that I heard my nephew say I really think today was a good day ;nothing happened. I then said to myself why did he say that ? Now he has gone and jinxed it. Can you believe I started to expect something bad to happen? I should have just remained thankful and content.
He was crazy….
As he said that just a moment or two after a crazy guy shot from behind me in a mini took the side walk and and proceeded to pass at least five vehicles ahead of me and almost ended up in an in coming vehicle. Believe me I was as mad as mad could be and I said somethings that my mother would not have been proud of. “Red” was all i saw and I said a whole lot of things that I would do to him if he had hit my car. I have already repented of these things and I have already asked for forgiveness. I should have just remained thankful and content. Nehemiah 8 : 10 flooded my mind afterwards and I felt so bad.
Don’t allow anyone to steal your joy…
The thing is my peace was not jinxed by anyone. What God gave me was mine and I chose to give it away. No one can take your peace of mind unless you allow them to. This reminds me of the Scripture Philippians 4 verse 11 and it says “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content”. The thing is I was not harmed in anyway because my family and i was protected by God and this was evident. Today do not allow anyone or anything to take your peace of mind. Try to remain thankful and content.
