Mindful Monday: On Monday's I'm going to share what's been on my mind. I by no means have any of this figured out, I'm just thinking out loud here.
I'm finding it rather interesting to look up all the places a word is used in the Bible. A few weeks ago I did this with hope and shared some of them with you. Bible Gateway is a great online tool that allows you to search the Bible in various ways and compare different versions. Below are are few of the verses that stood out to me on peace. I know it looks like a lot, but it really won't take you long to read it. I encourage you to take a few minutes to pause and reflect before you start the busy week.
