"Don't Be Afraid Of The Silence"
I'm one of those people that can ride for hours without talking. I can go to lunch with a friend and not have much to say. I can sit in a room with family and not feel like the air absolutely MUST be filled with endless chatter. Our daughter Rachel is the same way. Now don't get me wrong - you get us in the right setting and we may talk all night! (Especially on the cell phone!) Tim and our youngest daughter Rebecca are the exact opposite! Get them out in public and the entertainment is non-stop! They are hilarious, so it is no wonder Rachel and I have learned to sit back and watch. Of course, when Tim Quick gets home and has used up his 8,500 words for the day, he shuts down like a broken watch!
I heard a sermon recently entitled, "Don't be afraid of the silence." As a songwriter, I immediately jotted the line down thinking, "Sounds like a song!" A few days later, I heard the same statement from another preacher. I enjoy a little peace and quiet from time to time, as I'm sure most of you do. My prayer time is often laced with silence. I just sit there and welcome the presence of God.
I love to just sit and hold my girls - and yes, they will come and sit in the recliner with me. I'm so glad they've never gotten too big for that. I put my arm around them, hold their hands, smell their hair... as a mom, those are such precious moments. I wonder if God feels the same way when His children gather into His presence to love Him... I believe He does. "We love Him because He first loved us." I John 4:19
Take time to get into the presence of the Lord - Enjoy The Silence!
We have several days scheduled this month to work on vocals for our new project and I can't wait! I absolutely love working in the studio! We hope to have it completed by the time our next article for SoGospel News is due! Be sure to check back next month to see how the recording is going!
Our family will be attending National Quartet Convention again this year. We will be at Booth #422 - so be sure to stop by for a "Quick" visit!
