husband using vacation days....
kids home from school with snow days (many this year)..
For the first time in quite a while
I'm home alone.
The tv is off.... and there is a still silence in the house.
Wow.
Silence is a gift .... it makes you think...
I wonder if this is why the world is so intent
on having noise everywhere.
There is either loud music playing.. or tv's blasting..
even the fast food places have tv's on in the eating area.
Noise makes us ignore the thoughts
that God wants us to think over and ponder.
No wonder we are at an all time high for prescription drugs...
we can't hear ourselves think anymore...
and we certainly cannot hear God trying to speak to us.
Today I am embracing the silence.. getting some reading done...
and trying to listen to what God is saying to me.
I encourage you to take a few minutes.. and turn off the phone..
turn off the tv... take the headphones out of your ears...
and just listen.
Listen to what your heart is telling you... to what God is telling you...
and just time to soak it all in.
Sometime silence IS golden.
