peace, hope, and love

so,

I haven't written in a while.

here are some thoughts from my inquiring mind.

peace, hope, and love.

what is the meaning of these three things?

perhaps the meaning depends on the indivdual person.

perhaps the meaning deviates from the person and transcends to an entire group of people; families, children, elders, teachers, bussinessmen, writers, musicians, construction workers, cashiers, photographers.

perhaps the meaning of the word "peace" has different implications for a businessman than for a teacher. Perhaps a businessman is at peace when he receives a large paycheck at the end of the week. perhaps a teacher is at peace when a child finally understands classroom material.

maybe a musician is "hopeful" when he gets to sign a million dollar contract with a famous record label. hopefulness for a writer might be publishing a first book.

a family may experience "love" when everyone escapes unharmed from a housefire. elders may view love as a life commitment, a devotion to each other, evident through their unconditional daily love.

you may ask, what does hope mean to you? an ability to be satisfied with the present but always looking to the future journey's that life brings. peace is an inner ability to feel comfort and contentment when things around me are going beautifully well and when events around me appear to be exploding in the dark balck night of the sky. and love, well love, is to see a person and automatically love them as Jesus does, to look past their inherent faults that appear to consume and define them and to their soul, as a child of God. Only god can provide you with this precious gift of love, something that constantly needs to be renewed everyday.
