Thanks, Lori. I always enjoy hearing your stories. We have been hearing a different member’s story at church the past few weeks and it has been so encouraging to see what God is doing in people’s lives!

You’re so right, Carol. Spoken words are meant to have listening ears! May we be those.

Slowing down…yes. That is one important step that we often fail to take! But when we live slower, we’re more likely to hear the words and be an attentive audience for the things God wants to share through other people to us. Thanks, Laura.

It’s been my pleasure to be on the receiving end of your messages, Ashley. 🙂 I enjoy “hearing” your words (and even more now that I’ve really heard your voice to go along with them!).

Thanks, Jean. I’m fitting it in with Advent…if we’re willing to be patient and wait, we are blessed to hear the words from others as they share from their hearts. You share yours beautifully, friend.

You sum it up beautifully, Floyd: “to know and care for others the way of Savior has done and is doing for us.” Yes. That’s it.

Thank you, Cheryl. I, too, hope that John gets to share his word many more times before he goes home. Praying I’ll get to see him at least once more too. May you have a blessed Christmas also with family and friends!
