Morning Offering given
Memory Verse 2 Corinthians 5:17
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.

Morning! Easy day ahead, for which I am thankful. A couple copy jobs to finish and deliver, Dr. appointment and some books that need dropping off. The foot needs a rest. Swollen, red, painful. Not sure what is on the man’s agenda.
Today Bacci speaks to “Peace of the Soul” page 496. He says “Peace of soul is more to be desired than anything else in this world“. He goes on to say that wealth, honours, and pleasures are valueless as long as we are discontented and disturbed at heart. He said happiness is essentially internal, not external. Anyone looking for it outside of themselves cannot find it simply because it does not exist there. He advised interior peace is capable of bring us whatever happiness can be obtained in this world. Isa 48:22 tells us “there is no peace to the wicked” Mat 11:28-29 tells us that Jesus invites us to “Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart and you will find rest for your souls.” True peace consists in doing the will of God constantly and with love. Job 1:21 “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” This may all seem too difficult but only in this way can we obtain interior peace. The Imitation of Christ speaks to this should you desire to read more about it.
Know you are prayed for.

That is beautiful about God gave and he takes away: blessed be the name of the Lord. I feel my letting go of my job like I did, for all the right reasons, is like giving up comfort, for interior peace. Prayers said for you as well.
