Silent Night Thankful Thursday

I always go through the same emotions every year at this time. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.
First is the planning stage, then the panic stage, then I get down to business and solve it all, and then there is a sense of a job well done, followed by peace. I like the last one the best. I don't feel enough peace in my life throughout the year. I've already reached the job-well-done stage; I'm ahead of the game this year. Peace will come soon when I realize it's too late to add any last minute shopping, too late for last minute cleaning, and too late for last minute cooking. Then I give up, sit back, and enjoy the season. Peace (sigh). It feels soooo good.
I am thankful for my faith which teaches me how to achieve peace, even though I often forget to practice what I know. I wish for all of you Peace. Peace at your job, peace with your family, peace around the world. My God grant you Peace with the arrival of his newborn Son.

I will give you peace and quietness. I Chronicles 16:11
