I read something last week that has been with me non stop ever since. Especially in the season of two toddlers. Especially as I find myself loosing my temper too quickly. Especially as I reevaluate and recall our schedule and discipline and a whole lot of other things. Especially feeling a thousand weeks pregnant.
"peacefulness in my home is not the absence of noise, but the absence of strife"
Our home is peaceful. Even during all of the things. Because we are free from strife. We have no strife with God because of Jesus, and no strife with each other because of forgiveness. Noise and tantrums and dirty floors and crying newborns will not be an indicator of lack of peace in our home.
