Grace and Peace from God are what we need to live our lives day by day. Grace and Peace was a lovely "sign off" in the Apostle's letters but it also was very meaningful. He really meant it! We need Grace and Peace from God every day, in a very real way - even today. In this QT we read about a battle that could be smelt. Some of us live in a battle of some kind day-by-day! (I am not going to elaborate on that, you know exactly what I mean) The most effective things that we can do if we are living in a battle is to pray for peace and refuse active participation - walk away from it if we can.
When there is conflict in the home, this can emotionally damage the children. It may be possible that they will grow up in a dysfunctional way. If Jesus Christ is Head of our home then we can pray for, and make, reconciliation.
The picture in this QT represents 'peace'. May God's Peace be with all of us today!
