silence

today I am taking a quick moment to enjoy the silence.

althought it may only be for a moment: I hear nothing but the breaths of my pets (four of them, two cats and two dogs). Three of my kids are at school, oldest is still sleeping, and of course my soldier husband is at work and I still in my PJ's listening to silence.

For me this is rest. I grew up on a farm in Iowa, unique life I believe. We did not have a television nor radio or the paper. My connection with the outside world was from church or school. So I have found comfort in it: Peace actually.

I gaze outside my window and notice the leaves blowing in the gentle wind. I am so thankful for Autumn. It reminds me of God's grace for us. so gentle and loving yet directs us in the path that He has already created for us. We have the option to follow.

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need in life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

Rest in this today!
