Peace When Gathering with Friends and Family
Monday, November 25, 2024 by Karen Whiting

Gathering together for celebrations often involves getting along with difficult people. Be pray-pared. Check out this prayer by my friend Linda Evans Shepherd, author of many best selling prayer books and pray before guests arrive.

Be ready for people to gather with some silly jokes and great memories from the past. Ask each guest to name a blessing and write and post tham all. 

Sometimes people are full of anger or pain and need a listening ear, so be patient and acknoledge their view even if you don’t agree. Simply thank the person for sharing and give him or her a hug.

For more tips in developing inner peace, relational peace, and being a peacemaker get the award-winning book Growing a Peaceful Heart.Every devotion includes a practical tip on peace.
