Quiet. Shh. Sometimes quiet is good. It is peaceful. It is good for the soul. When I was a child, my father used to tell me that I talked too much. Imagine that! When I was a teenager, he would sometimes say, "Jeff, you just don't know when to shut up."
That always kind of bothered me, until I got older, and then it started to make sense. Imagine that! Something that my father said, made sense as I got older.
Sometimes words don't help. Sometimes walking away from an argument is better. Sometimes a hug to a friend who is hurting is better than untimely words. Pat answers never help. At times, your presence may be more important than your opinion in a marriage.
Quiet. There are many good reasons for it. Most of us need more of it. Shh. Be still and know that I am God. Ps. 46:10
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
