A Quiet Life

There are times I miss a quiet life.
But is there such a thing? Really?
A quiet life could be one without strife.
A life without quarrels, without bitterness,
Without betrayals, without death.

No, there is no such thing as a quiet life.
Yes, there is such a thing as a peace filled life.

A life with strife where loved ones hold onto us.
A life with quarrels which expose a relationship's foundation.
A life of bitterness which challenges us to look in the mirror at our own imperfections.
A life of betrayals which teach us lessons we don't have to repeat.
A life with death - where we are blown out of our minds in grief.

A quiet life can be one where the Almighty God is present.
A life of fulfillment. A life of peace during difficult times.
A life of learning self-control and self-discipline.
A life patterned after Jesus, the Greatest Gift of all.

A quiet life? Yes, there is such a thing.
I enjoy it every time it comes in for a visit!
