Have you recently had a time of silence for yourself where you just sit and enjoy the sounds of life around you and take a deep breath to take it all in? Do you lean in to listen to your own thoughts. I do that regularly because I DO know how important it is to me and to my daily life. Share your thoughts in the comments or what you do for that time of silence. Maybe you don’t do this at all. What makes that difficult for you?

I’m doing this in my quiet time, pressing in to hear Holy Spirit but I will also sit outside and listen to the sounds of nature around me. Love it.
Yes..so important for us to be able to hear Him speak and feel His presence. It is also just a great discipline that keeps us in touch with life.
Today I was watching Robins outside my window. They were flying, then landing and then eating bugs or worms.
