Is it getting noisy in here?

Periodically there is a police helicopter that makes it's way across the skies which blanket the area in which I live. It moves very little it seems . . . it appears to find a spot and then just hover there . . . seemingly not far from where our house is. It is really loud and disconcerting . . . it sets my senses on edge and makes me feel anxious. I always wonder if something bad is going on . . . perhaps I have watched too many police shows! I tend to make sure both Todd and Mitzie are in the house and then I close and lock the back door.  Just in case its a police chase and someone hops the hedge and tries to take us hostage.

I think noise must be the curse of modern life. The sound of a machine seems to raise a jarring voice on every quiet scene. It is not easy to find a quiet space anymore . . . radio (usually at about a bazillion decibels and nothing that you want to hear), televison . . . traffic racing by. Out in the countryside . . . the tractor ploughing the land, jet planes in the sky, soaring overhead, leaving their jet streams in their wake . . . 

These things wear upon the nerves, destroying peace and poise. It would seem that we are unable to progress in this life . . . unless we make a lot of noise!! (And I did not mean to make that rhyme, but somehow it does!) How very different this is from the work of Heavenly Father . . . work which carries on silently in the womb and cell . . . in the shell and seed, in pod and plant and tree . . .

We have learned to find comfort I suppose in the tick of the clock, or the hum of the refrigerator . . . even the wires which sing in hot summer sun . . . the chatter of the birds in the trees. If it all went suddenly quiet . . . would we feel bereft??? I don't know, but it is something to think about for sure. 

All is quiet out there this morning.  The calm after the storm from last night. It didn't half blow!  Must dash as need to get ready for church!  I am a bit anxious about all the hand shaking. 😳

A thought to carry you through the day  . . .
