Listening

The man told me what happened and at one point said, “I told her not to give that man the keys to her car, him being on a bender and all.” I listened right along. It was quite a story and I wanted to say this and wanted to say that but I am learning that it’s OK to hear someone’s troubles without offering a solution. Somewhere, way deep in telling the story, it happened. As if hearing the story for the first time, the man’s tone and posture changed. We sat for a few minutes, shook hands and went.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!
