“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives.”

For me when I reflect on what peace means I think about being in harmony both in my relationships with others and the world around me.

Peace begins with my family by creating harmony through both my words and actions. Making sure that I think before I ask someone to do something or if I offer suggestions that involve change expect feedback. It is always important to evaluate your interactions with others and be positive to ensure your relationships are healthy and open.

The most important point I would argue is to consider that no situation is hopeless. By being persistent and never giving up I have always believed is the catalyst for change. This is the peace that Jesus gave us the faith to believe that we are agents of change.
