I used to remind him that is fingers needed to go to sleep, too. I wish I'd had your bed-time ritual - it is lovely, sweet and just perfect.<br /><br />I also have struggled with "Be Still and Know." I called it Obsessive Thinking (not thinking great thoughts just thinking way too much). I had to learn to still those stops in their tracks. We must be soul sisters:) I so understand what you are talking about!Blue Cotton Memoryhttp://bluecottonmemory.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/fathers-day-for-the-fatherless/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-1743107658391341732011-06-23T11:03:43.130-06:002011-06-23T11:03:43.130-06:00The richness of God's wisdom is such a blessin...The richness of God's wisdom is such a blessing. Thank you for such a great perspective.

I'm learning that I need to be still first, in order to know Him. I can't hear the still small voice when I'm in constant motion.

The peace I feel when I am still is the most wonderful sensation, I don't know why it remains a struggle.

How often our trying gets in the way of our knowing. I know that I get myself worked up all the time over how hard I try to know God, and He says, "Just stop. Stop trying and know."Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836913725156756930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-7679500355471816372011-06-22T14:07:02.376-06:002011-06-22T14:07:02.376-06:00thank you SO very much for sharing this-hit me har...thank you SO very much for sharing this-hit me hard today. xogrey rose (they/them)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276803823247907626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-4790336099985353002011-06-22T08:45:03.368-06:002011-06-22T08:45:03.368-06:00beautifully saidbeautifully saidLaura@Faith Hope Lovehttp://gracetofaith.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-64018217338276654222011-06-22T08:42:32.858-06:002011-06-22T08:42:32.858-06:00I love this.

In my ruminating on past conversations and what was said. In my hastiness. In my preoccupation with managing my relationships. In my reliance on my own understanding, and my failure to consult His. In my prayerlessness." Thanks for a wonderful reminder.Kara @ Just1Stephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807231820370637387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671303250243641170.post-1368454885771533802011-06-22T07:39:05.695-06:002011-06-22T07:39:05.695-06:00Amen.
