Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. This song brings me to tears, so much so I am sharing this link for you to listen to yourself. I hope you can open it up. If not, perhaps go to the site as typed above.
When I reflect on how peace can begin with a single person I am very grateful for those in my life who have modeled kindness, compassion, tolerance and a peaceful attitude rather than one of aggression, hatefulness and exclusion.
Can you just imagine if each one of us did that, very consciously, how that behavior could be the one flame that could ignite the world into peace? One by one, how each of us could make a difference in a huge way...imagine the ripple effect...in our homes, cities and the world. This should be the season of peace although, every day should be a season of peace!
Yes, let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me...with each and every one of us!
