“I’m telling you these things while I’m still living with you. The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. I’m leaving you well and whole. That’s my parting gift to you. Peace. I don’t leave you the way you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught. (John 14:25-27, The Message)

This is what I have been holding onto while people are experiencing violence all around the world, in our country, in our state, even to my people. Even then, He can give us peace.

I love to color, my fingers busy while my mind focuses on God’s words. Find lots of coloring books that help me do so. Thanks to the original artists of these books. Kathie
