I have been busy lately with all that a mother of five is overwhelmed by: so many meals to make, calls to take, children to keep encouraging, disciplining, hollering at to have them do what needs to be done. I'm ragged around the edges and so I crawled to church one day and listened. I stopped the incessant clatter and chatter in my head about all the concerns I had. I wasn't prepared for what I received:
It's the end of school for so many, the crazy making time where all is blur and a rush- perhaps other things keep you from Him...I wonder if you have had time to know the peace in His presence?
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Stillness stuns me
as I enter
I have not
been here
for a very long time.
My life, my mind
have been busy
My heart burdened
and my sanctuary empty.
Still, You call
and I come
wrapped in
Divine silence
my soul finds rest
once more.
