QUIET- Five Minute Friday

Quit and sit

Understand that

In

Each

Time of silence a miracle is growing, waiting to be revealed

I think back to my compost bin. I've tossed garden scraps, paper towels, egg shells, dead leaves and anything else I had to decompose, in it. Once a week I turn it. I might douse a cup or two of water on it, put the lid back on and let it sit in the sun. The heat adds the last magic ingredient for decomposition to take place.

Beyond what we can see, something AMAZING happens in this DARK, QUIET place.

A place of POWER and a RESOURCE to bring forth NEW LIFE later on!

STOP

Food for more thought-an article I wrote around Thanksgiving time entitled "A Fertilized Life".

  3. It makes me think of what God does to help us grow during our dark time and trials.
    If we are open to letting Him work in us. It can spring newness and anew appreciation.
