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.

Keep it peaceful

I see and hear things that make me feel as if I am surrounded by hate and violence - a spot on the news, a headline in the paper. How are we as human beings supposed to deal with this?

When people disagree on something we have two choices - as I see it. One: we can fight to get others to 'come over' to our point of view. Or two: we can agree to disagree. I believe it is better to agree to disagree. We can live a peaceful life doing our best to help our fellow humans and the world that we all share. We can show the ultimate love by treating others in a way that is respectful of their humanity. We should not use 'velvet coated daggers' so to speak.

Is it better to spew words, or is it better to live a life helping those around us?

Peace.
