Praise the Beloved. Here we are once again with another weekend upon us.
Let us all thank God for this blessing.
Beloved, this weekend let us all remember that “much said” is not always a great choice. Wanting to be heard “ALL” the time is not a good practice. At times, your point of view is not the point of view of others. You see, sometimes we have the belief that the listener should agree with everything we say and be just as upset as we are or as joyful as we are. Many think that’s the only way to show that he or she is really listening. WRONG!!! Beloved, listening is hearing, understanding, reflecting, and processing information. I can listen to your thoughts and feelings without agreeing with your point of view. You and I are different people. It doesn’t mean I don’t care for you if I don’t agree with you. It means I am hearing you. But sometimes the speaker can attack the listener for not agreeing 100 percent. That seems unrealistic and unfair.
Beloved, we all need to accept the differences that make us unique. In fact, the differences can be opportunities for growth. When you talk to someone who understands you and cares about your “feelings” but doesn’t agree with your interpretation of events, it opens your mind to the fact that there’s more than one way to think about things.
Beloved, this weekend let’s remember, sometimes still waters run deeper than an open ocean.
Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone.
