Our Farmhouse property is an ideal location to host veterans whenever we have local events. I say this because we regularly hear how peaceful and quiet it is. How secluded it is. There is no turmoil. There is no city noise. You hear vehicles go by. But that\u2019s about it. One thing we learned years ago is that our guests are all searching for something very similar. Searching for the same thing. Actually, it\u2019s the same thing that we are all searching for. Peace. We are searching for peace. And that is the peace that comes from Jesus. It surpasses everything. Because it\u2019s lasting. There\u2019s no end to it. It\u2019s eternal. Yes\u2026there is definitely peace at the farmhouse. But it\u2019s temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we were to ask 100 different people what peace is, I\u2019m certain we would get a medley of responses. And I\u2019m certain geographically, there also would be different answers. And no doubt across the world there is certainly going to be different responses. Imagine what somebody from Ukraine would say right now. For me it\u2019s simple. I am pretty sure it\u2019s not a secret that I really enjoy hunting. My favorite type of hunting is for deer and turkey. Because of the wait. Although I truly enjoy providing for my family, the main thing that I take from hunting is the peace that I find in the blind. Yes I\u2019m talking about the quiet. The tranquility. But more importantly, I\u2019m talking about what Jesus gives me. Because when I\u2019m out there, I\u2019m talking to Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus wants us all to have peace in our hearts. And we can have it. Even during the \u201cstorms\u201d of life. Even when times are hard. Even when the future looks bleak. We can have peace. Jesus wants that for us. And what he provides is permanent. But it\u2019s up to us to ask him into our hearts. It\u2019s up to us to seek him in all that we do. If we do so, he will provide it. Here\u2019s something that I read: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how intelligent we are, how decorated our resumes are, how many inventions are credited to our names, or how smart, creative, and wise we are\u2014we don\u2019t know how to create peace.\u201d That is 100% true. We can search for it. We can try to replicate it. And we can find it. But we will never be able to create it. It only comes from our Lord and Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
