There are times when words run out. I’m not talking about being speechless. Being speechless is when you find yourself overwhelmed, lacking the right words, overcome with emotion, stunned, frozen. That is an experience that I have blissfully and fortunately had many times. Most of my speechless episodes have come at times when a premature view of heaven or of the full grace of God leaves me with tears and no words possible to attempt a repeat of what John did in his Revelation. It is when you try to explain the unexplainable or respond to something beyond words.
That is not my present experience. Right now, however, I am close to running out of words. I have said all I can say to a very special person. I am repeating myself. I generally find locution something easy. But, the superlatives and feelings of love have been expressed in almost redundant ways. I am at a rare point for me- unfamiliar territory. I’m out of words- full of God, full of gratitude, full of emotion- but out of words. We’ll see when the words come back.
