A Season of Thanks, Day 16

A cup of tea and conversation with friends.
A business meeting.
An hour of praying together.
A walk with a friend.
A telephone conversation, a skype talk, a chat via IM.

Words, words, words. Blessed times sharing hearts. I love them all.

And then, beautiful silence. Yesterday I enjoyed 6 hours of silence.

No telephones.
No emails.
No skyping, IM-ing, or even talking to myself (much).

Just silence. It was just a taste, really, of what I'm craving. I yearn for a day, a week, a month of quiet, a chance to be still and let God breathe new life into me.

The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.

Exodus 14:14
