I Let Small Things Go And Find Peace.
On those days I feel quick to irritation and anger, I may mistakenly blame other people and circumstances for the lack of peace in my mind and heart. But when I remember I choose my reactions, I realize I can choose to meet any situation with peace. I give meaning to the things that happen to me and around me. I keep this in mind the next time I feel my peace disturbed. If before I might have lost my temper, I now pause to breathe deeply before I speak. If I may have been tempted to blame another in my frustration, I now see them as a fellow divine being, worthy of kindness and understanding. The peace of God is always available to me. I claim this peace as my own and keep life’s small irritations in perspective.
And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.—James 3:18
