Called to peace, so peace will come

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:15-17 NIV

So the girls turn up for a worship practice at my place last night and walk into the chaos and madness of the kids putting on bedtime antics! Food is flying everywhere, naked little boys run wild through the house and their mother is equally as frazzled. Not so much peace ruling this night. Once the kids stop appearing from their beds and the instruments are out, my head is completely empty and I can't even remember what I'm praising God for! But as we sing with each other, and perhaps even for each other, it comes. The gratitude to God. And the peace.
