SUNDAY 4TH DECEMBER
It was fun having two of our grandchildren, 10 year old cousins, one from Coffs Harbour and one from Sydney with us. Our lego table is always popular for play and catching up with each other what ever age.
Day 4: It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it.
And it isn’t enough to believe in it.
One must work at it.
Eleanor Roosevelt from 1951 Voice of America broadcast
Working at peace is an every day work. . . believing in it when the day seems dim and allowing each new day to be a magpie dawn, feel its joy and begin again.
Peace is not something we achieve , somethong we win, it is something that is always ‘a becoming ‘ something we need to believe in and work at. In a family peace is rewarding because it means you are more relaxed and more joyful .
Peace in a family is something to sing for and about with gratitude each new day.
Children sit and play lego, and chat together but they are listening to the adult talk the whole time. That is how they learn to become adults.
