Heart Reflections: A Moment of Silence

Do we know what “silence” sounds like anymore?  Having complete silence may drive some people crazy while others are begging for just  few minutes every once in awhile.  Life gets busy as a Mom, Wife, Business Owner, or whatever title you carry.  Your husband needs you, the kids have homework, deadlines are approaching, papers are piling, the house needs clean, laundry done, and a stack of emails are waiting for your reply.

Occasionally we need to take a Moment of Silence to get away from the demands of life. We all need down time to re-group and refresh.  I am thankful for a husband that recognizes that and encourages me to take time to myself or out with a group of girlfriends.  He encourages me have some time to re-group, rest, focus, pray, and relax.   I love my family much, but it is nice to have some time alone and with others.

Sometimes it is during those quiet times that I can focus on what God is trying to teach me.  Usually there are items weighing on my heart and mind that I need to work through.  There are many times when I am driving I will turn off the radio and focus on some time of quiet.  Do you allow yourself some times of quiet?  Do you need it?  Go ahead turn off the radio, put down your phone, put away your computer, get alone for a few minutes, spend time focusing on the quiet, pray, and allow God to speak to you.  Hope you get a “moment of silence” soon!
