Put Peace into Practice
My dear son,
Contribute to peace wherever you are today. Along with holding back hurtful words, look for good words that help and bring people together. Goodness can begin with the work of your own hands.
Listen calmly during a conversation, and correct mistakes without insulting anyone. Look for a way toward understanding instead of enjoying words that stir up conflict. Even a small conversation deserves care.
Let your desire for peace take shape in your actions. Correct what needs correcting, and lend a hand where you can help. Your Father delights in a day when you turn away from evil and choose what is good.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 34:14
