Talking

Watching the tv show'Raymond' tonight, I see the topic of this particular episode is talking.  Talking as a couple and how it becomes so mundane to just not converse with your significant other and be just quiet.  

At times in any relationship we have lulls.  Times, when you just don't know what to say or do.  Times, when you have nothing really to say.  So, I begin to wonder...do we ever have those moments in our time with God?

I think that we do.  We run through the valleys, the deserts of life when we don't feel as though we hear anything from Him and He doesn't hear anything from us.  Does he want to give up on us, like we sometimes feel when we aren't in the conversating mood.  But, if we lose that lack of communication, we can become complacent in our relationship because it causes us to not try any more.

That's where our life can become very rote and not meaningful or, it can also be a time of hearing more of the non-verbal ques that seem to happen; the deeper understanding of one another.  The small nuances of life.  Like knowing when to complete each others' sentences or thoughts.  There is a great amount of understanding in not speaking sometimes.

This is a place of the greatest comfort.  A place when we don't have to talk and just be comfortable just being in the presence of our Loved one.  Sometimes, the conversation is only a cover up for just enjoying our times in awe and love.
