Peace is...

I asked some of you {on Facebook} what you first think of when you hear the word "peace". Your answers follow. 

On this most blessed day, due the greatest celebration of all the year, we focus on the peace-giver. 

Thanks be to that babe born to be all we'll ever need. Merry Christmas.
