We all need a “time out” to take a few moments to catch our breath. As a mother, I knew this well for my toddlers when they were pushing boundaries and not knowing when to stop. I would send my children to take a time out, not necessarily as punishment but to learn to calm down, to self-soothe so we could then talk about the impact of their actions.
In solitude we rest and are rejuvenated. Solitude is a moment alone, with God as our only companion. Why must we have solitude? Withdrawing from the bustle around us for a few moments with God will quickly enlighten us. We will save much valuable time when we follow the suggestions and the feelings we get from our visit with God in the quiet spaces of the day.
Quiet time allows my mind to quiet and the space to listen to my heart.
Thank you, Lord, for letting me tune into You today and sing a new song.
