I woke up, rolled onto my side, and glanced at the clock.

3:30 AM

Ugh, it was going to be hard to fall back asleep.

Then I heard my faithful dog rustle.  I suspect a dream filled with chasing rabbits.

I heard the soft breathing of my wife.  She was in a peaceful slumber.

Then I focused on the silence.  God was in the silence.  A comforting silence that told me all was well.

I smiled, wrapped in comfort, and drifted back to sleep.
