Hold Your Peace


Today’s title is a phrase that appears often in the Bible. I think of it regularly when I feel myself entering a spin zone.  For me, “hold your peace” means taking pause before responding, keeping myself out of uncomfortable situations when I can, and keeping an eye on my daily allotment of good energy. I know that events and people cannot take my peace, but I can allow events and people to have my peace by losing patience or getting upset.  Yes, I still lose my patience and get upset, but by remembering the phrase, I am able to move through the event a little quicker.  I cannot control the actions of others, but I can control how I react. I choose to hold on to my peace.
