Contribute to Peace
So this is one of the trickier ones. Peace can mean different things in different contexts. In this house peace is after 8pm, but I don't think consistent bedtimes is what is being implied here. Naturally my mind went to the war that is going on in the Middle East. Dennis often mentions our soldiers in prayer with the kids. Yesterday I got an email with this link www.LetsSayThanks.com . I believe Xerox did this last year, but you can pick out a card and they will send it to a soldier who is currently sering in Iraq. I will be having the kids do this when J gets home. As I type this I can hear my baby cooing, my daughter flipping through the pages of a book under our Christmas tree and I can smell a beef stew simmering in the crock pot. Those who have chosen to serve us to promote peace, are not in a peaceful situation. The least we can do is send them a thanks for their sacrifice with a few clicks of the mouse, and keep them in our prayers. By the way, Dennis has a cousin leaving in a few days for Baghdad. He'll be driving a lead truck, the truck that will be the first to find roadside bombs. Pray for Dan.
I'd also like to try some sort of peace treaty between the sometimes feuding siblings...we'll see.
