Inside one of my Christmas cards it read, “peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you” and I thought; am I a peace-giver, a peace-leaver? When I leave a home, a store, a restaurant, a meeting, have I left peace, or have I instead decided to leave my selfishness, my annoyance, my insistence on getting my own way? When I speak with someone who has hurt me, do I sow seeds of reconciliation, or am I more interested in having the last word, proving my point, being right? I want to be a peace-giver, a peace-bringer, a peace-sower, a peace-leaver – and one who also speaks truth into confusing situations. I”ll let you know how that goes.
