a time for everything...

so here i am again in the same spot i was in a few nights ago. on the couch in the quiet dim lit living room. i think it's kinda weird that i love these kinda nights so much. most of the time i love being active, loud, hyper and crazy :) but so many times i find myself just sitting quietly with my thoughts. i kinda like that im both ways i guess. the TV is off and Bart is on the other couch reading another book. he can have like 3 or 4 books going at once! im totally opposite! i have to read a book really slow and take plenty of time so i'll be able to take it all in so i'll remember what i just read! lol. Bart can just glance at each page and remember everything he just saw! amazing! thats why i call him Smart Bart!
So here i am... i was reading my daily devotion then after that i sorta laid over on the couch and starred at the high ceiling with my thoughts. as i was laying there i noticed that it was so quiet in here that the clock sounded like a bomb ticking every tick cause it was so loud. then i was reminded of the scripture that talks about "a time for everything". Ecc 3:1 there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven... time is an amazing thing and so often we take something as simple as the sound of each tick-tock for granted. our time on earth is so important. we need to slow down and always be sure to love our family and friends. we need to remember to walk in the spirit so that we are giving God every moment of our lives. i thank God for the time he has blessed me with...
so anyway, i think i'll wrap this up for now. im gonna get me a warm blanket and lay back on the couch and visit with my husband and enjoy the rest of the night. until next time...

Quiet times are nice. Enjoy them while you can... because when you have kids... things aren't so quiet anymore. =)

Love ya!

Quite times are GREAT.. I love getting up early in the mornings and go down stairs and make Hot Chocolate and listen to silences. You can really mediate on the Word that way.
Make more quite times for yourself. You will look forward to them
Great Blog
Love you ..
