Have there been times in your life where you feel like you’re chasing the caboose instead of riding in the train?  Me too.  And at those times when you are busy, busy, busy, you get allow yourself to get stressed.

One of the things that helps me is remembering the verse that says, “Let the peace of God rule in your heart…”  God has already given us His peace, but it is up to us to let that peace rule in our hearts.  If we don’t, then stress will rule.

The later part of that same verse says, “Be ye thankful.”  That’s a big part of letting God’s peace rule in your heart.  I have reminded myself of that verse many times in the last week and a half.  But just reminding yourself of a verse doesn’t do anything.

I have chosen to apply what the verse says; be thankful, and so I remind myself of many things that I have to be thankful for.  That is very helpful in letting the peace of God rule in your heart.

So now it is back to the busy, busy, transition.

Have a thankful and peaceful day!
