As I am sitting on our back porch, watching the sun go down, the promised Peace That Passath All Understanding fills me to the brim and beyond.

The quiet breeze ruffles the wind chimes as the beautiful gold color in the clouds becomes more prominent, moment by moment, spreading near and far. The magnificence unfolding is beyond a human’s paint brush because of the beauty it reveals.

I am reminded of the beautiful colors in birds and fish, all serving a purpose in nature.

As the colors begin to fade, I hear someone playing a flute.

Yet I carry the wonderful memory of these moments, captured in my heart.

I am grateful to have seen it, to cherish these feelings of peace and joy in an uptight world, rushing by, unseeing and unaware of the magic that is now mine.

So few stop their furious pace even for a moment to see the beauty that surrounds them: God’s messengers of Peace and Joy if one just stops long enough to behold the wonders and beauty of this world.

What do you choose, moment by moment?

God’s blessings on your journey.
