With a large family the work is constant: dishes pile up, dirty clothes pile up, clean clothes pile up. Sometimes I just have to choose to ignore the unfinished works in progress when I feel I need to be still before God - they will always wait for me... Other times I find my still times in the mundane routine actions of these chores, or when my thoughts drift to God while driving the children somewhere...though more often than not, I think it is the case of God's thoughts drifting in on my preoccupation and my receptiveness to receive this transmission. Maybe being still in this context is less about the posture of the body and more about the posture of the mind, and an awareness of the spiritual, and a relationship with a Heavenly Father.
