It’s been several years since I’ve experienced silence. My left ear never stops screeching. Ringing. Hissing. Due to a scuba diving accident, with resulting ear surgery, I experienced severe nerve damage in my left ear. The noise screams so loudly sometimes I’m completely baffled others can’t hear it. Yes, this stinks. It really does. I won’t get all Pollyanna on you and minimize the frustration and aggravation of it all. But I refuse to get stuck in the depressing quicksand of what I’ve lost. Tucked within the crevice of a loss usually a gift can be found. My gift? The realization that little, everyday things need to be noticed. Appreciated. Celebrated. Silence is a common thing. But silence is a glorious thing I never appreciated until I didn’t have it. What other glorious, common things do I need to grab hold of today, and with a heart full of thanks say… “Yes! This! I notice, God. I see, God. I recognize Your fingerprints of provision all over this God. And I’m so very, very thankful.”
