Listen...

Two ears one mouth (plus 2 longs floppy ones)
Listen. Listen closely.
Listening before speaking is a Biblical concept.
This is apparently a simple concept...not sure why I don't get it-the little people above seem to.

God has been impressing upon my heart....some people just need to be heard. Mountains become molehills unnecessarily when this does not occur.
Business settings or personal situation....when God puts someone in your path...maybe answers aren't needed....defending a situation or a person is not needed...
Cliff Note's version for me-
Hey Debbi, Sit down.....shut up....and listen.

God, Thank You for the gentle reminders....and the precious faced examples of how to listen with my whole heart.

In His Dust,

DCC

Sad to say ... that this is so simple to understand but so hard to actually do. Thanks for the reminder. I need to learn a few things from you and my 3 year old!!!
