It means...What does the word serenity mean to you?<br /><br />It means peace. A calmness that is unflappable. Like a pond with no ripples in it. <br /><br />Is serenity more than just an absence of anxiety or worry?<br /><br />I think so. An absence of anxiety or worry is just a calm state of body and thought. In this state, circumstances have come together to make me feel calm. But when I think of serenity, I think of a state of my soul. A peace that supersedes life's circumstances and struggles and suffering. <br /><br />What brings you serenity - in nature, in life, in the Word?<br /><br />I love the mountains - especially the stars at night when I'm camping. I derive serenity when I am around my family - especially my sons. And, of course, my granddog Marty asleep next to me, well that's a little piece of heaven! There are so many things in the Word that bring me serenity - the faithfulness of God's character, the sureness of His promises, the absolute hope for an eternity that is full of His everlasting serene REST!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!<br />Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-86429764656354158522012-12-05T09:36:44.620-08:002012-12-05T09:36:44.620-08:00Calm and serene.

The hassle and hectic space of moving has left me anything but serene a lot of the time :) But I guess it is resting back in the arms of Jesus and knowing that peace that only He can give.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205365191840035777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-17622009786213425872012-11-30T11:05:30.583-08:002012-11-30T11:05:30.583-08:00I'm avoiding my answer.
