A piece of peace in a war torn world...
Christmas truce, 1914....
These articles were so interesting...men coming together on the war torn front to celebrate a common day, Christmas...finding commonality through songs, families, and a little bit of peace....
What a picture ....I think of the angels singing, announcing the birth of Christ to the shepherds...
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Romans 15:13
In a world wracked by devisions, class wars, culture wars, family squabbles, and even now impeachment questions, don’t we want some peace? Can we put aside some time, sing some common carols, share some food, stories, laughter...pull away from the hecticness and find some peace...
As Christians we have a Prince who gives peace, a peace that the world cannot give...lets us seek His ways...His face...His salvation by grace...
Thank YOU that you give peace in the midst of the war torn world we live in...and have done that for centuries...help us to seek YOU...that are hearts will be filled with your peace...
