Sometimes, Peace Comes

Sometimes, peace comes through prayer.

Sometimes, peace comes through walking.

Sometimes, peace comes through a bag full of candy from a friend! 

Sometimes, peace comes through delicious, goldfish crackers:  

"Just keep swimming..."  I was SO proud of my 112 choir members last week - when I was knocked out thanks to the flu (DURING choir), I pushed play on the CD and they just kept singing.   Bless their hearts, I'm down the hall tossing my breakfast, and I can still hear them singing "Ode to Joy"!  Goldfish for all!

Sometimes, peace comes through kid notes:  

While I take whole group questions during choir, I encourage kids who have individual questions to leave me a note on the board.  APPARENTLY, I was talking in the hallway!  Stinker! 

Sometimes, peace comes through humor:  

Practical jokes are best served with fresh bread.

And a shaker inside. 

Sometimes, peace comes through animals:

Hey!  I have a new fish!

Wait...dang it. 

Sometimes, peace comes through nature:

Creepy, cool sky. 

Sometimes, peace comes through potlucks:

Brad joined me for a Brunch for Veterans at church.

Sometimes, peace comes through t-shirts:

Andrew, the littlest Lutheran, joined us, too!

Sometimes, peace comes through snapshots:

Those eyes!

Sometimes, peace comes through selfies:

 We're not related or anything...!

Sometimes, peace comes through jewelry:

Monday's amazing fashion statement from Emma...

Sometimes peace comes through boots:

 ....and Brenda.

Sometimes, peace comes through turnips:

 "Ms. G!  Ms. G!  We have to sing my book!"

Happy to oblige, little man.  

And sometimes peace comes through one sleeping infant.  

Eat, sleep.  Eat, sleep.  What a life!

Peace out.
