I could stand to be a better listener. How about you?
Learning to listen. It’s one pursuit that will change your relationships profoundly. Listening enables you to connect, heal, love, guide, celebrate and honor others. To truly impact people’s lives.
I’m including a link to a particularly insightful blogpost by Gavin Ortlund. Each of us could easily invest time each day digesting the qualities of good listeners one at a time. How might living them every day change our corners of the world?
I thought you might like an update of what’s happened since January when I took hold of that one-ish word resolution:
Go {beyond}.
When I’d climbed in, buckled up and revved the engine, ready for God to launch me right out of my comfort zone.
I think about all the stuff I’ve packed and hauled down the stairs and out to the car. Schwew.
But in just five hours I’ll haul it all into my sister’s house and clear up the stairs to the guestroom. Then it won’t be long till I pack it all up again, lug it down to the car and bring it all back home. *Sigh* How much of it do I really need any way?
