Peace - something that, at times, seems so unattainable. Yet, during the Advent season, we are reminded that there is nothing greater and more real than the peace we receive in Jesus.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27). We are recipients of God's peace, and as His children we are called to be a part of the restoration of that peace on earth.
We can play a part of giving peace to others. Create space to lighten the burden of a neighbor, be a listening ear to a struggling family member, or give a gift that leaves someone with a little more peace on earth.
This Christmas season, you have the opportunity to partner with Midwest Mission in giving the gifts of love, joy, peace, and hope to those around the world and around the corner.
$140 gives the gift of peace by providing 10 Personal Dignity Kits to help those affected by disaster.
You can also give in someone else's name. Instead of a traditional present, give a monetary gift to Midwest Mission in their name, and present them with this downloadable gift tag to show them the gift of peace was made in their honor.
Whether by giving monetarily, or through Christlike actions, together we are perpetuating the gift of peace on earth.
May the beautiful gifts of hope, love, peace, and joy be blessings over you this Christmas and always.
