In Search Of Silence
October 2, 2011

My next record should be 45 minutes of silence,” said singer Meg Hutchinson, “because that’s what we’re missing most in society.”

Silence is indeed hard to find. Cities are notoriously noisy due to the high concentration of traffic and people. There seems to be no escape from loud music, loud machines, and loud voices. But the kind of noise that endangers our spiritual well-being is not the noise we can’t escape but the noise we invite into our lives. Some of us use noise as a way of shutting out loneliness: voices of TV and radio personalities give us the illusion of companionship. Some of us use it as a way of shutting out our own thoughts: other voices and opinions keep us from having to think for ourselves. Some of us use noise as a way of shutting out the voice of God: constant chatter, even when we’re talking about God, keeps us from hearing what God has to say.

But Jesus, even during His busiest times, made a point of seeking out places of solitude where He could carry on a conversation with God (Mark 1:35). Even if we can’t find a place that is perfectly quiet, we need to find a place to quiet our souls (Ps. 131:2), a place where God has our full attention.

Don’t let the noise of the world
keep you from hearing the voice of the Lord.

Read: Mark 1:35-45

I have calmed and quieted my soul. —Psalm 131:2

Isaiah 14-16; Ephesians 5:1-16

MORNING SONG

Give me a song, dear God,in the morning,
Give me a song at the break of day,
Give me a song lest the hours grow weary,
Give me the lift of a song on the way.

Days are so long and the burdens so heavy,
Tired are the faces I see passing by;
They seem so hungry, dear God and so helpless,
O how they need some song from on high.

So, if I covet one gift in the morning,
It is the shine of the heavens in my face,
Banishing gloom for the worn and the weary,
Telling the story of infinite grace.

Good Morning

Thank you, tiapam. I love that Psalm and view of
Sedona..and you're welcome
I wish you a blessed Lord's Day

[jaycee]

Thank you for the beautiful opening graphic and scripture, Meg. Would that be the red rocks of Sedona, (where Yorkie lives?) They sure are glorious! Have a nice Sunday and I must do some work now. (My colors didn’t suit me for my frame but after trying 3, I gave up.) They all seemed to have some purple in them....LOL!

[jaycee]

In my last post I should have said “where yorkie and tiapam live.) And I did see your answer to Pam. It answered my question, too.

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you, jaycee, for the lovely Morning Glories and poetry,
Morning Song.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

October's Party

Author: George Cooper

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly “hands around.”

[MEG33]

Thank you, jaycee! You are welcome

Actually, the top pic is from New Hampshire, but the Blue Ridge look about the same. Mountains in fall are sooooo pretty...

yorkie.
