Peace 107:7

Uplifting & Encouraging

He is Merciful

by

Peace family, today, I just wanted to encourage you with part of what I read in my Bible this morning. It was a good reminder that Christ is merciful. Read with me: “51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on […]

Thankful for Special Moments

by

Peace family, what are you thankful for today? I am thankful for so many things: thankful that I am physically able to mow my own lawn, thankful that I have so many helpful friends who can give me good advice when I find a leak in an outdoor pipe and don’t know where to turn […]

Finding the Sweetest Watermelon

by

As summer approaches watermelon season is almost here! Watermelon is one of my favorite summertime fruits and I found an expert, Alfonso Garcia, to give me the secrets to finding the best, sweetest watermelons. Of course I have to pass it on to our Peace Family! I know thumping them is a usual but here’s […]

Caring For Those Who Are Grieving

by

Peace family, our friend Gary Roe, chaplain at Hospice Brazos Valley, has written a new book called Please Be Patient, I’m Grieving: How to Care For And Support the Grieving Heart. Gary always has a lot to say for the comfort of those who are grieving, but he tells us that this book is also […]

Unearned Gifts

by

Peace family, a friend and I have been having some good conversations about faith, consequences, and struggles in life, and it made me realize how often we can say that we accept God’s grace for us, but still live our lives as though God’s acceptance of us is all up to us. We were talking about […]

Don’t Lose Heart

by

Peace family, I just wanted to encourage you today that no matter what you are going through, God is with you and you are going to make it! This morning while I was working, a close friend texted II Corinthians 4:16-18 to me. I had forgotten about it, but it’s one of my favorite passages; not […]

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

by

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness month, and Bob Colwell with Tx-DOT wants all of our Peace Family to stay safe on the roads. More than 1,000 statewide distracted driving crashes each year, he urges drivers to put away cell phones and avoid distractions, and give the road your full attention. He says Texans are dying on our […]

Appreciating Nurses

by

One of the most valuable groups of people we have are those that we call nurses. Where would society be without them? Last week was National Nurses Day and it made me think about all the wonderful nurses we have in our lives. One of the biggest blessings of my life was that my best […]

Temptation and Fighting the Good Fight

by

Peace family, we all struggle with temptation, even if we aren’t all tempted by the same things. Over the weekend, a close friend and I had a long conversation about temptation and different ways to fight it. If you are feeling overwhelmed by temptation today, I want to encourage you; you are not alone! You […]

What Feeds Your Soul?

by

Peace family, what feeds your soul? A good friend asked that recently, and it got me thinking about different ways that different people are encouraged. A lot of friends responded with all kinds of answers, from the deep and spiritual to the comfortable and simple: reading the Bible, Jesus, enjoying a good piece of cake, […]

Unanswered Prayers

by

Peace family, what can we do when it feels like our prayers are unanswered? What does it mean when we can’t see God’s good working in a situation? How do we cling to him when circumstances feel unnecessarily cruel? There’s a pretty prevalent false belief that by giving our lives to Christ, we will have some […]

Record-Breaking Dessert Party!

by

Peace family, Mercy Project is hosting a dessert party that will break a Guinness World Record! Not only will more than 1,000 people come together to enjoy dessert at the “Sweet Taste of Freedom” party, but it also will support Mercy Project, which works to free child slaves in Ghana. Chris Field says it starts at […]

Value and Obedience

by

Peace family, something I have been thinking about for a few months, was a realization that it is easier to obey God when we are assured of his love. Do you know how precious you are to God? I was raised in a Christian family, so I don’t have the excuse of not knowing when […]

Embracing Forgiveness

by

Peace Family, it’s a fresh new week, and I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I’m still thinking about details around Easter, particularly forgiveness. So many times, when we look at Christ’s betrayal, we focus on Judas’ kiss, but we don’t usually make a big deal about the fact that Jesus, knowing what Judas has done, […]
