Growing up in Belfast was an experience. Those of us who did so can empathize with the kids of Syria or Afghanistan today.
Kids of war torn lands take heart. With wisdom there will be peace in your land like there is in mine today. It can take time but never ever give up hope
Strive to make a difference. Smile and embrace the person who is not like you .
Love your neighbor as yourself .
So when the day comes, like it has for us BOOMERS of Belfast that we see a city renewed, hailed as a must go destination in Lonely  Planet you can feel happiness beyond believe that you made it through the dark days and into the light.
BLESSING #4 All Those Who Work for Peace
