Last week I got an anonymous envelope in my letterbox. Its address on the front was “Suz”. (Amazingly the post office knew where to send it 😉 ) Inside the envelope was the above scripture and a small cross.
I was blown away by the scripture; “May there be peace with in your walls…”
I don’t know about you but sometimes the last thing we have in our house is peace. Five women/teenagers under one roof – well I can leave that to your imagination about how crazy it can be. And not only are we dealing with normal stuff but still the grief comes back and that is often a trigger for emotions to run a little (and sometimes a lot) crazier than normal.
So what a blessing to be given this beautiful scripture! What comfort and hope it brings!
I am now including it as part of my daily prayers.
Jesus, May there be peace within our walls and security within our home!
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
