No Higher Calling

Ep 119- Establishing a Quiet Time


Listen Later

"I am responsible for my rest, my quiet time, my health, and my relationship with God. Each of the things that fill my cup allowing me to pour out beauty on the life God has given me." -Sally Clarkson

One of the most impactful pieces of wisdom I have received and applied in our home is to create a rhythm of quiet time every afternoon. Not every day looks the same, but we strive to have 1-2 hours in the afternoon to reset and refresh our hearts. This took intentional training and consistent implementation to become habit, but it has been worth it! The children and I all look forward to this time of day. The baby and toddler go down for naps, I turn on soft instrumental hymns, the older 2 play independently (find ideas in the episode on what they enjoy doing!), and mama gets to spend some time in Bible study, NHC work, homeschool planning, or whatever tasks the day may bring. 

Establishing a quiet time has been such a blessing to our daily rhythms. The beauty of it is that it's not just for moms with littles who take naps. All ages benefit from a peaceful pause in the day!

Do you have a quiet time in your home? What do you enjoy doing during that time? Is it a time to catch up on your favorite book or fold laundry? What do your children enjoy doing? I'd love to hear your ideas in the comments!
