IN THE STILLNESS...YOU ARE THERE!

It's the day after Thanksgiving here in Chicago. Yesterday our day was filled with lots of family, lots of food, and lots of fun. We cooked, we laughed, we ate, we watched old family slides and we spent time together. The house was full of people laughing, dogs barking and many people talking. There was noise...and it was good.

Today...it is quiet. Family members have went home, children are still sleeping, dogs are on a walk...it is quiet...and it is good.

I am reminded in these moments that in the stillness...God is there.

Stillness is peaceful...stillness is needed...and today...stillness is temporary. In a few moments...dogs will return...children will awake...but I can still have stillness.

Throughout a busy and loud day, we can still find stillness with God. He never moves, and He never becomes too busy.

Take a little time today and let Him say to you "Be still and know that I am God".

Gotta go...the dogs just returned.
