There Will Be Peace In The Valley 5/11/2023

 Good Morning,

I just sat down to write and enjoy my cup of Door County Inn Keepers Blend Coffee. Let's see where this day takes us.

One of my favorite old Hymn is "Peace In The Valley" sung by Elvis Presley. The way it is sung presents the thought of hope for tomorrow and the desire for the blessing of peace. It bemoans a person who is weary from problems yet he knows that someday his life will be at peace. One statement the writer makes is that he desires a change in his lifestyle and part of the peace he will experience is a major change in himself. 

Often at times we have peace running away from us and it seems impossible to find. We search for answers and serve up excuses while placing blame on others. True peace comes when we make changes in our life that support a peaceful outcome. People might think that we are part canine because we growl all day long. We are filled with sleepless nights and are "dog tired" because we growl and snarl all day long. If you are seeking peace in your valley, start by reading your Bible and live by the principle, Luke 6:31 Do Unto Others as you would have the do unto you.

 Lyrics Peace In The Valley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary

But I must go alone
'Til the Lord comes and calls
Calls me away, oh yes

Well, the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night
Night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb, oh yes

And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed
Changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
Oh my Lord, no trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
