Blurt: Let There Be Peace With You!

Sometimes life beats down upon us and leaves us in despair. In our journey to make the lifestyle change necessary to achieve our goals to lose the weight, eat healthier, exercise more, and conquer our addictions, it is sometimes necessary to take a step back and find peace. I find my peace in the morning hours when the house and neighborhood is quiet. I sit on my porch, drink my coffee or tea, and commune with nature. It is in these times of solitude I can pray and celebrate how awesome my God truly is. I look and listen to the birds in the trees. I gaze out on the sky, rain or shine. I feel the cool morning breeze as it caresses my skin. It is in these moments I feel truly blessed and offer my thanks to God. It is where I find my peace and motivation, no matter how hard things are going for me in my life. Life has offered me many times of hardship and struggle, but I realize it is in these times that He carries me and protects me. Though my faith may stumble from time to time, I know it is God who will help me achieve my goals. I leave you this poem to offer my prayer of blessings on your life.

Let There Be Peace with You

by Brian, the old man

The economy is down

No jobs in town

The cupboards are bare

No one seems to care

Let There Be Peace with You

Time spent all alone

No rings on the phone

As darkness sets in

I need a friend

Let There Be Peace with You

When troubles arise

It is no surprise

Faith seems to wane

There's no one to blame

Let There Be Peace with You

My family too far

Can't wish on a star

Life is not fair

This is my prayer

Let There Be Peace with You

May God Bless your life

To live without strife

In the Lord's way

Survive every day

Let There Be Peace with You
