   When you don’t
   know what to do

   stop
   breathe
   ask

   you. know.

   listen
   trust
   act

   you. know.

   you are wiser
   than your fear
   gives you credit.

   There is sound all around me
   even in silence
   Life bursting forth
   even in silence
   Warmth in God’s love I find
   even in silence.
   As sunlight returns, as the air warms
   As others comfort me and my family and seek to be
   Comforted by us in this season of love
   Help me to carry for the this warmth, hope and peace
   To others from you, God, who is never really silent.

   Billie

     “even in silence…”
     A great refrain, Billie!

   I need the silence today
   Weariness overwhelms me
   physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually
   I so long to rest in the calm
   of Your embrace
   You are my Source
   for all things needed
   in life and godliness
   I long to carry this quiet with me
   to live in Your strength
   as the day lengthens

   “Shhh, my child….”

     Prayers for the quiet to be a salve to your weariness.

   I don’t usually bother to sift the flour .. though it does make a difference when I do!
   Silence makes a difference.
   It sifts me, settles me, even as the list of doings crowds in and I am impatient to be off and away.
   Ground of our being, ground me in being that I may offer others my attention and presence today. Amen
