QUIETNESS AND TRUST

QUIETNESS AND TRUST - The past months have afforded me a lot of quiet time that I normally would not have had, as I (like a lot of people) have mostly been working alone from home.  Since my wife has continued to go to work every day, and since we have no children or grandchildren at home, the house is pretty quiet.  The quietness and aloneness have given me the opportunity to focus on some creative endeavors (such as my Light for Daily Living photo-quotation pieces) and allowed time for more reading and reflection.  A verse from the prophet Isaiah notes that quietness, coupled with trust, can give us strength to face the challenges and demands of life: "In quietness and trust is your strength" (Isaiah 30:15 NIV).  So I encourage you to make use of any quiet and alone time that may come your way as a way to recharge your soul and bolster your trust.
