I could see peace instead of this.

I could see peace instead of this.

For those who are doing or have done the workbook lessons of A Course in Miracles (365 lessons - one for each day of the year), you will recognize yesterday's focus, Lesson #34: I could see peace instead of this. This has always been one of the more powerful lessons for me. Like few other lessons, it's insightful yet convicting message seems to always stay with me through out the day.

As I'm driving to work feeling a bit rushed...I remember that I could see peace instead of this.

After expressing my impatience with a co-worker...I could see peace instead of this.

As I think about the potential impact of the economy on our business ... I could see peace instead of this.

As I'm helping a passive-aggressive child with her homework...I could see peace instead of this.

As I'm feeling the pressure of a big assignment tomorrow...I could see peace instead of this.

And often, just saying it or just thinking it or just writing it, I feel peace as I remember my home with God.

May we all see peace this day, instead of...

In Joy,

Michael
