It’s Saturday. The stores are crowded. The ads are loud. The noise is everywhere. The greatest gift you can give your soul today is a moment of Silence. We often run from silence because that is where our thoughts catch up to us. But silence is also where healing happens. It's where we can hear God's whisper over the world's shouting. Try this: Turn the radio off in the car today. Or wake up 20 minutes before the house creates noise. Sit. Breathe. Just be. "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength." — Isaiah 30:15

With all the talk of boundaries, healing, and schedules... don't forget the FUN. Laughter is one of the quickest ways to regulate a dysregulated nervous system. It releases endorphins and lowers cortisol. If your home has felt heavy lately—whether from marital strain, financial stress, or just the weight of the world—intentionally inject some lightness tonight. Watch a comedy. Play a board game. Look at old funny photos. Reminder: You don't have to wait for the "perfect time" to be happy. You can snatch a moment of joy right in the middle of the mess. Question: What is your favorite Christmas movie to watch for a laugh? (Elf? Home Alone? Christmas Vacation?) 🎄
