Silence

The silence is shouting at me this morning after such a wonderful, busy week with my dear friends from the South.

Bruce is back at work and Wendy (my dog) and I wander about adjusting to the change.

I sit quietly in my chair and hear in the silence, laughter, words of friendship and sisterhood, precious  stories long forgotten and reclaimed and encouraging words of love.

Without the distractions – TV off, computer asleep and company gone – I see in my mind all the activities again, the adventures of last week. I hear our laughter -  till we cried. I relive the stories of the past, moments in time we shared together that helped form us into the women we are today. Stories of loved ones, now in Heaven and the impact each had on our hearts, bringing again smiles and tears.

I marvel and thank the Lord for that “sister” love we four share which began almost 50 years ago  and continues, blossoming into a sustaining and supporting relationship we can count on now and for eternity because of our bond in Christ! Love you guys!

I “hear” my Savior whisper, “in quietness I am here, be still and know I am God. Listen and remember. Relive all the times I touched your life. Come and sit with Me, in the silence, and share My love!”

A friend loves at all times!
