Sometimes When Family Members Least

As Children Of God We Are Somebody. He Will Build Us, Mold Us, And Magnify Us If We Will But Hold Our Heads Up, Our Arms Out, And Walk With Him. What A Great Blessing To Be Created In His Image And Know Of Our True Potential In And Through Him! What A Great Blessing To Know That In His Strength We Can Do All Things!

None Of Us Need One More Person Bashing Or Pointing Out Where We Have Failed Or Fallen Short. Most Of Us Are Already Well Aware Of The Areas In Which We Are Weak. What Each Of Us Does Need Is Family, Friends, Employers, And Brothers And Sisters Who Support Us, Who Have The Patience To Teach Us, Who Believe In Us, And Who Believe We’re Trying To Do The Best We Can, In Spite Of Our Weaknesses. What Ever Happened To Giving Each Other The Benefit Of The Doubt? What Ever Happened To Hoping That Another Person Would Succeed Or Achieve? What Ever Happened To Rooting For Each Other?

Listening Is More Than Being Quiet. Listening Is Much More Than Silence. Listening Requires Undivided Attention. The Time To Listen Is When Someone Needs To Be Heard. The Time To Deal With A Person With A Problem Is When He Has The Problem. The Time To Listen Is The Time When Our Interest And Love Are Vital To The One Who Seeks Our Ear, Our Heart, Our Help, And Our Empathy.

If We Could Look Into Each Other’s Hearts And Understand The Unique Challenges Each Of Us Faces, I Think We Would Treat Each Other Much More Gently, With More Love, Patience, Tolerance, And Care.
