True?

 

 “The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists in listening to them. Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them. It is God's love for us that He not only gives us His Word but also lends us His ear. So it is His work ..

 

On Listening: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    Lord,

    May we never take our freedom for granted

    and help us to strive so that this same freedom

    may be experienced by everyone in our country,

    especially the poor and the oppressed,

    and eventually by all humankind.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    God,

    Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

    and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

    Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

    And anyone that cannot get along with me.

    Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

    and anyone that I have hurt.

    Bless the person that I cannot forgive

    go about doing good,
    Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to
    bless all people now.
