I relate to that, Char. I tend to think of the best questions AFTER the conversation is over, too. 🙁 So I love when God sends us a second opportunity with the same person! Or a fresh opportunity with a new person to make up for our messes.

I need to ask better questions to let the person know I’m interested in their story. This is something I usually think of after the conversation is long over… 🙁

I agree, Lori—listening to each other is definitely a valuable gift and something we should prioritize. It’s not always easy to do, but it is worth our best efforts.

You’re so right, Floyd. I went back and looked at the individual quotes and clearly saw the theme of humility in them. Our “listening” problem is more of a self-centered problem, yes? Thanks for sharing your insight, brother.

I’ve been instinctively working on this very thing for some time. It goes back to that good ole humility thing that we’ve been taking about for a long time now.

I noticed that in all of her quotes. Humility rings clearly through.

Thanks for the reminder. I think I’ll hold off on asking for a rating just yet…

But you come in handy when someone wants advice! I’m usually reluctant to give advice even when asked, so there’s probably a middle ground between us. 🙂

At least you’re off to a great start, Sarah. I think we all have room for improvement in this area so we’re in this together.

I’m glad this resonated with you as well, Betsy. It’s such an everyday subject that affects all of us. I want to listen better, and even though it sounds so easy, it’s not.
