Tanner's prompt for today is Peace.
Peace is...
...your heart, which had been racing, slowing down to a steady beat.
...your muscles, which had been tense, loosening and relaxing.
...moving from an uncomfortable position, held because you felt anxious, into a more natural one.
...safety, security, and rest.
I feel at peace when I am not worried about what the future holds; rather, I am content with the present. Church is intended to make us feel this way. After all, what is a sanctuary but a place of peace?
We often close worship services with these words: "Go in peace. Serve the Lord. Thanks be to God." When we leave church, ideally, we take the peace of the sanctuary out with us and share it with the rest of the world.
I'm not sure how to end this one, so I'll just leave that for you to ponder. Stay tuned for May 10th: Mothers!
