Be Still.....

"Be still and know that I am here..."

One of my favorite verses from the Bible. I sit here tonight at my computer and everyone is sleeping but me. It is completely silent in my home, which is a very rare occurrence. I love these far and in-between moments. It allows me to count my blessings and thank God for all he has given me. I am allowed to recharge for my next day and all the craziness that comes with a family of six. But most important, I take a moment to feel HIS presence in my life. I have a lot of prayers to say tonight between being thankful for all I have and for others who are currently struggling, some I know well and others are strangers. As you can probably tell I am in a reflective, rambling mood tonight with not much to say but a lot on my mind. But for now I am going to go sit in the quiet, feel HIS presence and pray before I fall asleep from exhaustion.
