Do you think 'peace' or do you think 'war' from morning until night, as well as through the night? Is it just once in a while, or all of the time?
We live in a world that always appears to be in some kind of turmoil. We never know when something will happen that may affect our lives, the lives of those we love, or others in an adverse manner.
Compare the the year 2011 to the year 1955. Both of these years represent ten year reunions, but how our world has changed!
In 2011, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the tragic events that took place on September 11, 2001. No one will ever really forget them.
In 1955, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
I was ten years old at that time, just old enough to begin to understand the meaning of the word 'peace'.
"We are a family of peacemakers," our father taught us.
At this time in our individual and collective thoughts, we can make a pro-active choice to focus on either 'war' or 'peace', weighing the events of 2001 and 1945 against each other in terms of the tragedy of war, or rejoicing in the reality that we live in 'peace', even amidst the turmoil of our daily lives.
Think 'peace' continually and encourage others to do the same. Magnify 'peace' and it will abound!
