Creating silence in our lives teaches us to follow God through the noise of the day. It’s only when we hear his voice that we will know the way we should go. Imagine for a moment that the jar below represents your life. The sand, the pebbles and the rocks are the things in your life—from the smallest of things to the largest of things. Everything! One of the big rocks might represent God, another your family and the sand might represent your socks with holes in them. A big rock might be the time you spend with God, family and friends. The pebbles might represent filling your car up with gas. You get the idea. Go through your day in your head and think about what things you put into the jar first.
