Yes! I'm really trying to find time to sit in the silence. Especially with all thats going on right now, and has been for a long time. The way I see it, when you're in the noise, all the sounds, sights, smells, touches, ideas, thoughts, feelings etc. They are things being stuffed into your mind, body and soul. And one container can only fit so much. So when you sit in the silence, there's nothing but room around you, all the stuff you have been collecting, kinda oozes out of you, and the things you have forgotten come to the surface. And then, you can fill yourself again with the things that really matter. The Bible mentions us multiple times as a vessel, and before you can use a vessel, you have to empty it. Haha, its like a junk drawer. You keep putting whatever in to it all the time, til it can't close anymore. Then you have to empty it and start over. And how many forgotten things do we find in there?

I love that analogy!
I’m just glad Jesus told me to post this one. Love you too, Aunt Bekah!
