Brothers and Sisters in Christ

We are the peace makers. Matt 5.
 I come back from a crisp morning walk in minus 4 degree frost, crystal clear sky and a quiet that seems to echo the presence of Christ yet on my mind and in my heart is the knowledge that many are living in a place where peace seems so far of.I read a quote which said:  'The quakes in their lives are registered on the Richter Scale of our own heart's'. (Gariepy)
I am blessed, you are blessed and we are blessed, because we are children of God. We are Christians and we know the great saving love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is easy to say in the comfort of our homes and in the peace in our country but can you imagine being one of those Christian families stranded on a mountain top in Iraq, running for your dear life and that of your children at the threat of being killed for believing in Christ. No possessions, no food or water, nothing but the adrenalin pumping your legs to run for your life and your strong everlasting faith in Jesus propelling you.   According to the Richter Scale of your heart, pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Iraq for we are all one body in Christ.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
