Love That Listens
"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak."James 1:19
Reflection
Listening is one of the clearest ways to say "you matter to me". It costs time, which is exactly why it counts.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to listen well. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- How do you know someone is really listening to you?
- Why is it hard to listen without interrupting?
- Who needs you to listen this week?
5-minute activity
Play the listening game: one person talks for one minute about their day while the other listens without interrupting, then repeats back what they heard. Switch roles. Read James 1:19.
