In a growing family sometimes it's hard to withdraw to a place quiet enough to write anything about God, or to hear from God. Yet within all the noise, interaction, chaos and chores is my greatest blessing. In my life I have had lively talented people: my wife and children. Although sometimes we chafed each other, we were not so empty of character so as to have small personalities.
I thank God for hands that can write with some degree of expression. We must learn to appreciate action when we would rather be quiet and be inactive. I must learn to view the cacophony through some other lens. In need to observe and learn from the process of life and activity rather than being walled away from it.
