Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,

'Turn away from evil and do good.
 Search for peace, and work to maintain it.'  — 1 Peter 3:11

Too often we see peace as merely the absence of conflict, and we think  peacemaking as a passive role. But an effective peacemaker actively pursues peace. Peace is a by-product of commitment.
The peacemaker anticipates problems and deals with them before they occur.
When conflicts arise, he or she brings them into the open and deals with them before they grow unmanageable.

Making peace can be harder work than waging war, but it results not in death but in life and happiness.

' Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.' Matthew 5:9

Heavenly Father, transform us into tolerant and forgiving people to make peace in family and marriage relationships.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
May you have a wonderful Christmas and many blessings for the coming year.
Jesus loves you!
