Don’t laugh, but I have been listening some to Oprah’s motivational speeches lately, haha. I’m pretty sure I have heard them all already but there are a couple of things she said that stood out to me.
One was about peace. She said that you know you have done the right thing when you have been rewarded with peace. That made me think. Peace has been such a huge quest in my life lately. It is my goal, honestly, to live in such a manner that peace always resides within me. Can you imagine all that that requires?! That means no contention, no regrets, no dissonance, no confusion, no wavering, no fear. It means intentional living, decision making out of love, forgiving, repenting, seeking, accepting, and trying.
As I sit here under this beautiful thunder storm, listening to the heavens growl, knowing my trees are adoring the rain, feeling it spatter on my bare feet, I spy tiny shoots of cilantro emerging from the soil near my back door. I sprinkled seed pods from an earlier harvest of cilantro earlier this year just to see if they’d grow. Here they are trying. That warms my heart and makes me feel like I can try too. I feel like peace is a valiant quest, one Heavenly Father would be pleased with.
Forever grateful!
