The Quiet in the House

So while Cin and Bekah were basking in Florida sunshine and catching up with dear friends and checking out a school, David and I were kicking around the house by ourselves. I was struck by the silence. Not that we didn't talk; we did. But only when we had something specific to say. We had a long talk Wednesday evening. I don't even think we said a word to each other on Thursday - running on different schedules. Most of the time we went around in the house in silence and it was companionable enough. Still, I think we both welcomed back the bustle and noise today as Cin and Bekah arrived home. Lucy sure was glad to see the loves of her life return...

Pastor - This reminds me of a friend of mine. He said it was an observation by others that he and his father didn't seem to have any fun when they visited because they didn't talk very much. He said it was quite the contrary and that they were having a great time together just being quiet.

P.S. Welcome home to the noisy women! Glad they are safely home.

Yes the Sound of Silence" is a wonderful thing! As you mentioned it is equally wonderful to have the "Noise" of loved ones back.
