What2Say2Day? Today I go back to my full time job of assisting students in the class room. And I'm happy! I miss the kids I work with. I miss sitting with them and talking about their day, weekends or what happened last night. I truly can't wait to hear what happened over the holiday break.
Will all the stories be good and filled with joy? Probably Not. But that is what I look forward to most; being there to listen to them and letting them know that I have love for them no matter what. And so does my God.
The word listen appears over 400 times in the NRSV of the bible, and not all of those listening times are of good news. But still the people in those stories listen. Listening should not be confused with hearing. We hear all kinds of things during the day; cars, birds, music, leaves rustling. Listening is a skill where we pay attention and process what we hear.
Do you hear your children or listen to them? Do you hear your partner in life, or do you listen? Do you hear or do you listen to God? Today, I get to listen to God through the youth and teachers I work with. That makes me really happy!
Who do you get to listen to today?
