Peace that passes all understanding.

"Hey Mom, How's it going?"

"Hey Son, it's going good.  How it's going for you?"

This was so often how our conversations would began.

"Aaaaaa......Life is good.  The birds are singing.

The sun is shining. The flowers are blooming.

It's a great day."

The lilacs bloom here about the first of June.

Michael was leaning out his bedroom window.

This was his view.

It was a beautiful day. 

I heard the peace and hope in his voice

and could sense the smile on his face.

Two weeks later he was gone from this life.

Today is the day to consider.  How's it going for you?

Where will you be in two weeks?

I thank God for the unbelievable strength and peace

that only He can give.
