I saw the phrase 'pockets of peace' in a book today. It started me thinking about where I find my peace these days.
Sometimes that pocket is just simply quiet time with my Bible and my God. Amazing how that can rejuvenate one for the remainder of the day!
At other times it is more secular - maybe a few minutes in the Quiet Room at work reading a book; maybe just the drive to/from work with the radio off; maybe those last few minutes just before I fall asleep at night. I can usually find a 'pocket of peace' just about anywhere.
It doesn't always have to always be quiet. I've found it sitting on a hilltop in Florence, Italy listening to the children laughing and the church bells ringing. It's been found surrounded by a couple of hundred people on an airplane going on a long-anticipated trip. I can be at peace surrounded by my family, listening to them interact with each other (even if that involves fireworks!)
My 'pockets of peace' seem to come when I'm content with my surroundings.
Think about it - where do you find your 'pockets of peace'?
