Girls Write Out
Thursday, March 31, 2011
I've been reading about "silent retreats" and wondered about them for a couple of years now. Though I love to talk, I think I'd really like to attend a silent retreat where the only One I talk to is God.

The way I understand it, you go to a lovely setting, many times it's a monastery, where your meals are provided, you have your own room, a beautiful gardens outside to walk through and benches on which to pause and reflect upon the Lord and His goodness.

I understand why busy moms want solitude, but my kids are grown and I have quiet in my house all day (except for the dog and cat). But there's something so inviting about going somewhere, away from life's duties, and just spending a whole weekend with God.

Have you ever done it? What was it like?

Sometimes it's not possible to get away, so we have to make do in smaller ways. An afternoon walk, a trip to the park, hiding out in the bathroom. And then if you have a great imagination, you can just slip away in your mind . . . . ;-)

So how do you get away and refresh your spirit?
