Listening: Gift of Love   Do you choose to offer the gift of love and caring to family, friends, and others through the gift of listening hospitality?   Do you seek to fully understand what another is saying or do you choose to be content with hearing only words?   Does your understanding of others allow you to reach beyond distractions like speech irritants, content choices, or the repeating of certain words or stories over and over again?   Do we only listen to others who meet our various expectations?   Your host believes we each personally choose to offer this listening gift of love to another in our own unique manner.  A pastoral letter from Texas is shared illustrating how significantly the gift of listening can affect the life of another.  This same letter also offers us a personal challenge to convey our gift of listening to others as well as learning how to really listen to ourselves.
