Today I read a little quote that really struck me by Matthew Kelly, “Things start to make sense in the classroom of silence. Whatever it is you are trying to make sense of, are you giving it the silence it needs?” I thought about this and realized how difficult it can be for me to quiet myself – especially into silence. I keep myself pretty busy. I can always find something to do and have a dozen other things waiting in the wings. When I do feel like relaxing, I usually do it in front of the TV – mindless noise. Or I can get on the computer and find an endless supply of social media and videos to keep my mind engaged. But to sit with God in silence is hard. I do take time in the morning to really pray, but even then I am full of chatter – good noise, but noise none the less. Yet I can remember times when I was still and quiet and allowed God to fill me with His grace and peace. There is nothing else like it. I need to do that more.

I Found God today in a reminder to be silent to experience Him on a deeper level.
