Seeking Peace

Good morning family. I feel like my week should be farther along than it is. Thinking about "elevation". You know, getting to a higher level in life. Not necessarily more pay but more peace. Don't get me wrong, more pay is a good thing, but the more I understand about living a peaceful life, the more peace I want. Every morning on the way to work I come down Main St. There are always men and women sitting on the sidewalk, most of them waiting for a "day" job. I assume some of them are homeless. I use to feel sorry for them and want to pull over and give them the few dollars I had in my purse. Convicted because I've never given them anything unless I had to stop there and gas up. Usually one of them will approach and ask for change. This morning I almost envied them because they look peaceful. They're not running off to a stressful job, may not be worried about feeding anyone but themselves, don't look to concerned about the weather and certainly aren't hiding who they really are. I think for the most part they've decided to stop living based on "human" expectations and started living carefree, putting the stresses of life to bed. I'm not saying I want to live the life of a homeless person, I'm very thankful for everything God has allowed my family to accumulate and sustain. But I am saying that if more of us would live life based on God's word and not the word of the "world" then we would be at peace. We would stress less about what we don't have and praise Him for what we do have. Using our resources more responsibly/spiritually. We would understand that every relationship is not made to last and that "when one door closes, another door opens". We would see/share the true beauty and lessons in failure and success. Our walk through life would no longer be "self centered" but lives focused on the betterment of those less fortunate. That's how we start the search for peace. Starting my walk today.
