PEACE

Each year in the past, I put out our stocking hangers and wonder if we would ever have enough children to fill up the word Peace.  We always had a stocking for Annie our beagle that filled in the gap, and each year I wondered if another child would take her place. This year I was able to fill the holder and I couldn't be at more Peace.  Finally, my heart has stopped aching for that third child.  Finally I have found contentment. Finally I have stopped constantly thinking and wondering what it would be like with three children. Finally, I have Peace!
I was full of joy when I got to put up Maddox's stocking.  He completes our family and he is precious to us! We couldn't imagine life without him!  We are completely blessed!  
The Lord gives us Peace each and every day!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
and the PEACE of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.  Philippians 4:6,7

The LORD will give strength to His People;
The LORD will bless His people with PEACE.  Psalm 29:11

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Romans 5:1
