As we rush through life, we often take the valuable for granted. All too often, appreciation crops up only when we sense something slipping away.
As September nears, we long for the lazy summer days.
When the toddler walks, we miss those calmer, quieter days.
When the teen begins to drive, we wish we could put him on his bike again.
Most of us are blessed enough to have great command of all five of our senses, so it’s easy to forget what a miracle sight is or the blessing of sound, taste, smell, and touch.
With gratitude ever on my mind this month, I’ve taken time to ponder the blessing of sound.
Here are some of my favorites.
Silence at naptime
Little giggles
Childhood songs
Leaves crunching underfoot
Waves lapping up on shore
“I love you, Mom” – across the phone lines
So, still yourself. Close your eyes. Listen. Remember.
What are some of your favorite sounds – big or little, past or present?
