"My Peace"
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27
We live in constant turbulence. In the three and a half years I've been a mother my daughters' lives on earth have crossed paths with horrendous tragedies. Pandemics, wars, political unrest, massacres of children in schools and more. Someone recently commiserated with me saying "what are we doing, raising kids in this world?" Honestly, I don't know how to answer that. My heart sinks to know my daughters will continue to see worse in their lifetimes, as all of us have. There are no surprises anymore, only despair when we learn of the next tragedy.
And yet in spite of all this, the Savior's plea to us is to not let our hearts be troubled or afraid. Somehow through this thick fog of anger and sadness He continues to send His peace. It is a small glimmer, but He asks us to hold it in our hearts and allow it to grow. It leads us to action. To do good things for each other. That is what I will teach my daughters. Even when there is great dispair and a feeling of hopeless dread in the air, we can take our deals Savior's love and push it forward into the world. We can be the light and comfort others need desperately.
I've had this idea in mind for a few weeks now, but had been struggling to work out the kinks. I realized I was going to have to do a double layered block to get it the way I want it, and I'm pleased with the results (matching things up is not my strong suit). That being said this will be a limited edition piece, meaning it won't always be available in my shop.
Love you guys ❤️
