Peace and guidance be with you all

Thank you Sandra for reminding us.
 
In my campaigning days I wore both a red poppy and a white poppy for a peaceful world, and it upset a lot of people, which is a shame. The white poppy was to say I wished for a world without war.

Jude that's lovely but also very sad at the same time.I had no idea you could get white poppies.Many lives were taken again today through war . I also hope for a world that will somehow find peace within...

You can get white poppies from the Peace Pledge Union which was founded in 1934

Yes it is sad that conflict can be caused by something designed to help bring peace in the world. In a way its understandable, because some people think white poppy wearers are against our dead and wounded, when in fact they actually want to stop them being dead and wounded in the first place!
Living in a garrison town I've decided not to wear either. I can see both points of view, but it's always seemed ironic to me that 'peacemakers' are always condemned, starting with the first one...Jesus.
Seeing the local regiment return home from Afghanistan recently was a very emotional thing.

We have had this problem here in the US as well.
There was so much ill will during and after the Vietnam war,
and then the Gulf war.
Now though,
we make clear the difference . . .
we support the troops, but not the war.
I too,
pray for peace for our little planet
with love . . .

The killing of twelve soldiers and one civilian at Fort Hood in Texas and the wounding of many more by one of their own is not only tragic but shows how violence begets more of the same. There is no way around it, war means violence no matter how justified some think it is. "Speak Peace in a World of Conflict," (M.B. Rosenberg), Juliana's motto, is more timely than ever!
 
Edda

Peace and joy!

shows how violence begets more of the same

 
Peace be in my heart
 
Peace be in your heart
 
Peace be in the hearts of all mankind
 
Peace, Peace, Peace

Love is the only way

Yes It's heart breaking and soul destroying Lets hope for a brighter future without war.....
 
 
 
 
Time to sleep now I think...

I think, dear Buba,
that a cheerful umbrella is needed

Warm drinks should help though
with much love . . .

Good afternoon ladies and everyone.
 
A Blessed Veterans Day. A day of remembrance. My prayers for those who served, and for those who are serving in the forces, and for their families. Prayers for Peace.
 

Hello Buba. I am sorry you are having rain today. We awoke to 30 degrees and covered with frost. I captured some of the frost while chasing the puppy through the soggy ground. It is in the 50's now.
