Word Art Wednesday #39

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm back from our 2 week road trip across the USA.  We drove from Virginia to California and back, stopping to see the sights along the way.  America is definitely a beautiful country and I felt myself humming this tune in my head quite frequently from the back seat of our car...

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed his grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

I'll be sharing more from our trip in future posts,  but today is Wednesday and that means...time for some Word Art!!!!  Today's word is from Colossians 3...

Chapter 3 in Paul's letter to the Colossians is all about rules for holy living. Paul tells us that the attitude of peace that Christ alone gives (in place of the attitude of bitterness and quarrelsomeness) is to rule in all human relationships. Christ gave us HIS peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding.  His peace gives us unity and oneness,  a sense of wholeness and well being.  It is a state of true harmony, not division.  His peace should rule our hearts and minds.  Let us use his peace, which he generously gave to all of us, to decide what is right when conflicts of life arise.  Just think of how much misery and strife we would avoid if we let the peace of God rule our hearts.  Christ calls us to peace, and we are to be thankful. 

For my layout today,  I used an iPhone photo of me at the Grand Canyon last week.  Talk about the peace of God!!!  Standing at the rim of the Canyon,  looking out upon all of God's handiwork,  you can feel His presence.  And if you are still for a moment, and just take in all the beauty, an indescribable feeling of peace overwhelms you. And you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is God!
