Silence Speaks ~

(a little click will enlarge the photo)
There is always hope,
even in the dark times.
*  *  *
May the God of your hope
 so fill you with all joy and peace in believing
 [through the experience of your faith]
 that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound
 and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.
Romans 15:13

This reminds me of an Oswald Chambers quote I read yesterday. "Faith is the heroic effort of your life."

You are so right and not only everything in life but some people's testimonies are stronger after they die than while they are living.

The theme at my pastor's funeral was not "Dead Man Walking" but rather "Dead Man Talking." His witness was even greater after his death because of the incredible life he had lived.

Love this!

Help us to listen to Your voice of love and hope, Lord. Break through and bring your comfort and peace to those experiencing dark times.
A beautiful image, scripture prayer and blessing, Susan.

Yes. Silence. I've been indulging in a lot of it lately...but there's still the white noise of the refrigerator, the splash of the fountain outdoors, dogs barking, birds chirping...:)Good things!
