The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.3.)
What greater gift can we receive and give than to accept God’s peace? The holiday season can be stressful or peaceful. It is our choice.
Our practice for today is to remember first to accept the peace of God, and then follow in the way peace leads us. Accepting God’s peace puts us in the flow of inspiration from the Holy Spirit. We can make this a joyous holiday season by making accepting God’s peace our highest priority.
As we accept peace, we naturally extend it, because God’s gift of peace cannot be limited. What a beautiful gift it is to extend peace to everyone we meet or even think of. This is how we have a happy, joyous day.
