Longing for Quiet Times
12/28/06
Danette Kettwich


the Gutenberg Bible-the first substantisl book printed from movable type in the western world
As a mother of three boys
I often long for time;
Just for a few quite moments to
Truly claim as mine.

Busy doing laundry,
Busy making lunch;
Don’t get me wrong I would
Do anything for this bunch!

But just a few more quiet moments,
To sit and just meditate.
To put life into perspective;
Before the hour’s late.

When I do finally get
These few quite times
I find I often spend them
With the Lord of mine.

Then I realize that time isn’t
Something that I own
For I have given my life to God
I’ve laid it at His throne.

Trust me there will be a time
Of quiet and of rest.
For now I will enjoy my duty and
Realize that my life is blest.

That time will come at the end
Of this life of mine
Wrapped in the arms of Jesus
For eternity’s endless time.

My baby is going to be a senior this year. My other two are grown. I thought that this time in my life would mean many more quiet moments. What it's meant, however, is grandkids... many more grandkids than kids! :) Which means even more activity. But I wouldn't trade it for anything! Thank God His whisperings to us are loud enough to break through the barriers of our daily noises. If we waited for quiet moments with God, we never would find much time with Him. So we learn to serve Him and have meaningful relationship with Him in the midst of it all. Great work!

Danette I know what you mean. Us women have so much to do and little time to sit down and relax. As we pray through out the day God will give us the peace of mind and strength that we need. God bless you and thanks for sharing.

Of this life of mine
Wrapped in the arms of Jesus
For eternity’s endless time.

Wow! What a finale.

Beautiful...I pray God will give you those quiet times when you like down to sleep too.
