Peace

Driving home the other day I flicked the radio onto Life FM. The song that was playing was singing about how we are bring God’s peace to earth and perhaps something about unity, a generic Christian song that I’ve grown up singing along too, being glad to be bringing peace, doing a little back pat that I’m on the winning side, look at me, super girl, I’m pretty awesome. Yeah, I know it’s an extreme though train, and extremely smug at that.

Driving home though with that song playing, I tried to think of the last really peaceful act that I’d seen. Nil came to mind. Nil ‘Christian’ examples of a true act of peace were even close the surface. Mother Theresa may have surfaced for a little while, but other than that nothing.

Peace is one of those words thrown around so much. Yet it’s something I don’t feel is in abundance in my life, I don’t feel I project it or bring it to others. Sure I’m not out there being ‘anti peaceful’, I’m fence sitting really. So I’ve been wondering what a peaceful life would look like for me, for my community, friends etc. Interesting to ponder. Current implementation: nil. But that can be worked on!
