Daily: Pick one hour of each night when the whole family is home to measure the moments of pause.
Consider with family members the following questions: If you look at a watch, without telling anyone else what you are doing, how long are these moments of silence? What about when all electronics are off ? Can you do anything to stretch those moments? Not respond so quickly to questions or demands? Encourage family to be still and think about these answers, listening for silence.
Blyth is the father of two young children and is married to a pastor. He does other things when nobody has a skinned knee.
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord for the Lord is about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fi re, but the Lord was not in the fi re; and after the fi re a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
(1 Kings 19:11-13).
