Listening



Listening

Do we listen to God when he tells us about something good that is about to happen to us (are we just too busy worrying about something else going on in this world)? We all should be listening to him.

Do we listen to our parents when they try to tell us right and wrong (are we just too busy running our mouth and getting an attitude with them, that's not good God is watching everything we do)?

Do we listen to the one who needs our help (are we just saying forget it in move right alone, you know the saying what goes around comes around.

Do we listen to the pastor when he preaches about the word (are we just too busy listening to that person gossip about the club they went to on Saturday night or listening to that other person talk about that person have on) that's is wrong and I good at all

Do we listen to the choir sing their song ( are your too busy playing with your phone and making up your song?


Do we listen to the teacher that he/she tries to teach you (are you too busy writing notes to your friends, sleep in a class by end of the day you will not know what really when on? Because you weren't listening to what was going on.

Do we listen to the senior citizens (you know we all can learn a lot from them?

Do our families listen to one another( are they just too busy fighting and not getting along) we all need to stick together as one

So are listening or are we just not paying attention. It's time for us to listen and not play around. We should be listening to God, our parents, our family, the preacher, our teacher, senior citizens, and so on.

ask yourself if I'm listening or not

In ( Proverbs 15:21) says he who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.

I started writing when I was 17years. I told my grandmother before she die in 1994 that I will continue writing my books and poems. she was my inspiration, she encourage me to write.
