Ever Feeling So Low You Called Someone And Got Voicemail?

And Felt Peace Because You Heard Their Voice?

Ever had “one of those days” when your serenity took a poof pill and disappeared?

There have been times in my life when my peace of mind just seemed to be overwhelmed. Job, kids, relationships, news of the world. It all seemed like such a burden; I needed relief from carrying the weight on my shoulders.

I knew it was all inside my own mind and just wanted to share a few moments of peace with someone I cared for.

So, I called, and the call went to voicemail. If it was not the kind of voicemail that was electronic and computer generated but the recorded voice of the person who was called, I got some relief. Really instant relief.

Like magic, the connection settled me down and I immediately felt better. There have been times when, no matter how strong we may be, we just wanted the connection, any connection, with someone we knew and were friendly with.

If you call someone to obtain a lift, vent or just wish to talk with someone you trust, don’t panic when you get the lemon of a voicemail. Make lemonade out of it by connecting with the voice, and peace will surely follow.

Thank you, God!
