Peace

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Last Sunday I attended and participated in my Grandson Thomas’ baptism. Though it was my children’s decision to have Thomas baptized I felt a great deal of accomplishment in that moment.  I have been a parent longer then I have been a pastor and one of my goals as a parent has been to have my children value Jesus as Christ and be a part of His body the church.  In my children’s profession of faith and my grandson’s baptism I could and can feel the warm sheltering embrace of the family of God wrapped around the one’s I love so much.  In that few moments on Sunday, in this uncertain world, I suddenly felt a great peace that my beloved are safe in the arms of Christ forever. Jesus said “my peace I give to you”.  What greater blessing can a parent be given?  

Why do so many chose to live in fear when peace is so close at hand?
