One boy was sad on his first day of school because his parents couldn’t afford to buy him designer clothes and shoes. Peace was visiting his home and told him:

"You are not the clothes you wear; you are much more than even your body, or any outward thing. Think about this, my friend."

The boy thought about this several months and contacted God within him. The next time Peace visited his family he lifted his hands and said, "Peace, thank you, I feel free!"

Another older boy she met got angry when he became afraid and would hit people. Everyone was afraid to be alone with him, except Peace Pilgrim. Together they walked up to the top of a hill.

Suddenly a thunderstorm came, and he became so frightened that he began hitting her. She could have run away; he had a heavy pack on his back. Instead, she stood still, quietly looking at him with love in her eyes. He stopped hitting her and said, "You didn’t hit back." He felt her love for him and became sorry for hitting her. He was never violent again.

At another time Peace was taking care of a small girl. A big, angry man came and wanted to hit the girl. The small girl was so afraid that she ran into a barn. The man followed her.

Peace came and stood between the man and the girl. She looked into the man’s eyes with deep love that told him there was much good in him, just as she had told the boy during the storm. This man also knew she was telling him the truth, so he bowed his head, and then turned and left the barn.
