How quickly do we allow things to take our peace from us—the driver who cuts you off in traffic, the friend who is stubborn with you, your child who seems to refuse to listen to you, a loved one who continues their destructive ways despite your pleas, or circumstances in your life that don’t seem to improve no matter what you do….

This Thanksgiving, take a few minutes to reflect on what peace means to you—where does it come from, how are you demonstrating you value it, and what do you think you need to shift in your life to enlarge your pursuit of it.
