May the peace of the Lord be with you.
May the peace of your creator sustain you.
May there be peace in our hearts so it can be in our homes.
May peace be in our homes that it spills out into community.
May there be peace in our communities that it spreads into the world.
May there be peace universal, global, in eternity
May peace be in all of time and space throughout all dimensions.
May you have that kind of peace always.
I found this on Facebook. Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan is a young woman who faced fear and said it sucks. After being injured at the hands of extremists and lived to tell her story, she has become a global inspiration for us all. Perhaps we should focus on what is doing harm to the world. The 21st Century must be about advancing humanity instead of advancing harm, fear, unnecessary tools of destruction and most importantly making peace, making love and not making even more war. Just imagine if we focused on hope instead of hate.
We should be building schools, bridges, opportunities and not walls. Our greatest weaknesses come from a place of being scared I think. Maybe, just maybe we can change course, do good things. Love one another.
If a friend or coworker is of another faith or none at all don’t think how can I convert them, love them first and get to know them. Perhaps they have a good reason to believe the way they do. Your path to the afterlife is validated by respecting theirs. Love thy neighbor, as thyself… Jesus meant that. God is love and we should be that too.
From History.com In Islam, Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer.
To my followers who celebrate this Holy time I wish you grace, peace and love. May God bless us all as we find ways to come together and to love one another. I look forward to you sharing your stories during this time.
As-salāmu ʿalaykum good people!
