Journaling Prompt - Experience

The experience of sitting in quiet will bring oneness.

Ah, quiet. That's how I sometimes feel after all the kids are over & have gone home. Don't get me wrong, we love having them visit, but it's also good to hear the quiet when they leave.
And then there's the quiet of sitting out back watching the birds. Which sometimes isn't so quiet! In fact sometimes it's downright deafening. When they stop their chirping/singing/cawing or whatever the quiet is so loud! Especially if there's no traffic for a little bit on the highway.
Sitting in quiet does absolutely bring oneness with God. It's so good to be still and listen. Sometimes He will speak to me through the quiet. Other times He speaks with a loud and booming voice. Right now it is very quiet in the house. The birds are quiet & there doesn't seem to be much traffic. It is so peaceful. And peace is what I'm needing right now. Thank you Lord! Thank you for being near & thank you for the moments of quiet.
