Discovering Inner Peace: A Lesson from a Baptism

Dear friends, I invite you to sit back, relax, and join me on a journey back in time. A journey that taught me a profound lesson about inner peace. It was a bright Sunday morning, the kind that fills your heart with joy and your soul with tranquility. The occasion? A baptism, a celebration of life and faith. But little did I know, it would also become a celebration of peace.

The Baptism

The church was abuzz with excitement. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers and the sound of joyous laughter. In the midst of it all, I held the tiny, innocent child in my arms, her eyes wide with curiosity, oblivious to the significance of the event. As the priest gently poured the holy water over her head, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated peace.

The Lesson

Now, you might wonder, what does a baptism have to do with inner peace? Well, my dear friends, it’s all about perspective. The child, unaware of the complexities of life, was at peace. She was living in the moment, unburdened by the past or the future. And that, I realized, was the key to inner peace.

Too often, we let our past mistakes and future worries rob us of our peace. We forget to live in the present, to appreciate the beauty of the moment. But that day, holding that child in my arms, I was reminded of the importance of being present, of letting go of what was and what could be, and focusing on what is.

Embrace the Present

So, my dear friends, I urge you to embrace the present. Let go of your worries and regrets. Live in the moment. Find joy in the simple things. And remember, inner peace is not a destination, but a journey. A journey that starts with a single step. A step towards letting go, towards acceptance, towards living in the now.

May you find your inner peace, just as I found mine on that bright Sunday morning.

Until next time,

Kev
