As women, there are days that seem to be going just fine and all of a sudden something bumps into our perspective and shuffles everything around leaving us crabby or insecure or emotional...how easily that happens and how hard it is to turn it around sometimes. It's even harder to really pinpoint what's the matter, specially when the poor bewildered husband tries to help. I've discovered that usually I try to spoil myself when I'm in these "moods" with stuff like brownies, ice cream and coffee. That makes everything better, right? Only temporarily.
Recently, my little son has helped me learn something in a rather funny way. It doesn't matter what mood he is in, he will always laugh when I sing the old song "I've Got Peace Like a River". Always. Even when he is crying, he will stop crying and start fighting a huge grin that forces its way across his face. I'm not sure why he does that, after all, my singing can't be that bad! But he reminds me to allow peace in my heart. It's not something that just happens; it's something I need to allow.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts..." Colossians 3:15
