Today all the children are home today celebrating Veteran's Day. I (Mama) enjoy my children home, minus the whining and fighting. Note to self, we live in a fallen world, so the perfect home is not this side of heaven. BUT I love having the times of peace, love, and self sacrificing between the children (heck, ya better throw me in there too). Anyway, our devotions today were on peacekeepers (getting along with others). How perfect on a day home together to apply and live it out! It was sweet to see the girls thinking of the other first. Trust me, I will take it when it comes. We do desire to live lives that bring our Savior glory and are in such need of His grace. I praise Him for the glimpses of His love being lived out in front of me. 
Romans 12:17-21 (ESV)
17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV)
3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
