When one of your favorite mugs breaks on the way out the door to the bus stop you...

Pause.

Remember little eyes are on me...

Breathe.

Remind myself I can choose anger or love as the example I set...

Pray.

For wise words and actions to flow from me.

Live out love.

Choose to calmly articulate that it's just a mug and people are more important than things.

As my mug read...

Peace.

It is not where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It is to be in the midst of those things and be calm in your heart.

Thankful to have passed along love this morning, and not anger💕🙏😊

With love and hope,

Shawn

P.S. This happened the same morning as the post below. Love how quickly I was given the opportunity to put into practice this truth;-)
