The value of quiet

I don't mean we should be walking around screaming "shut up!" all of the time, either. Quietness of spirit is one thing that example teaches far better than constant reminder or words. We've become so overwhelmed with the pace of our lives that we often overlook the need to be quiet, to seek a voice that doesn't always scream at us..."Be still, and know I am God." We can't wait to go cheer our kids on, full-voiced, at sports activities...I wonder what would happen if we approached quiet time the same way with them, with the same enthusiasm. Here's to a calmer, quieter, more peaceful life for all of us.
