This Advent series on patience, silence and speech, hope, and family is turning out to be very inspiring for me in its preparation. This week the focus of silence and speech reminded me of the fact that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason - we should strive to listen twice as much as we speak. Not always easy!
It was also good to remember that in the times of silence, God has a better opportunity for us to actually hear a message. Being one who enjoys periods of silence, it is a good reminder to take advantage of as many of them as possible. And to really listen when I do.
But then there are times to not only speak, but sing. It was another enjoyable evening singing Christmas Carols at the Ministerial Association’s Carols and Beer. So glad this tradition has been started here.
Blessings.
