A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Happiness and Peace

In our family, thanks to my mum, we have a 'strange' holiday tradition of making 'gingerbread houses' out of graham crackers. In recent years, we have evolved past the standard houses. This year we had a sail boat (lines made of pasta), a sea shack, and a fortress being attacked by gummy octopuses imprisoning the gummy bears among other bizarre ideas within the family. Lovely happy fun.
As I go about my day, I sometimes have to dig deep to find moments of peace. Even when things are swirling around in the world, if I can stop and refocus - search for that ultimate peace - then I find I feel happy and better.
No matter where one goes, the world just seems to be flying along at mach 10. But....that doesn't mean we have to fly along with it.
Here's to goofy fun family traditions.
Peace.
And....FYI news bit:
