Greetings Dear Reader,
This particular response only occurs In the Magic 8-Ball®
and in my head. No one has actually said
it to me. It surfaces in my head when I
think that I am being unclear or that my listener is being obtuse.
I strive never to get irritated when I must concentrate and
ask again. I fail more often than I would
like. The truth for me is that I am more
impatient teller than listener. I choose
all my words carefully and in my pride, I wonder why people just don’t get
it. This is an excellent opportunity for
me to learn more grace, patience, and humility.
When I take the time to concentrate and ask again I find
that I am more patient and show more compassion or understanding. Perhaps I give better information. Sometimes I find a new and better way to say
what I am saying.
Good communication is so vital to good relationships. It must always be my endeavor to communicate
well. I must be clear and kind. I must seek to understand before begging to
be understood. I must always put the
moment of good repour ahead of the moment of understanding and both must
precede my urgency for agreement.
In communicating well I can assure that focus my mind on following
Christ. He is Dear Reader the living
Word and the final one on all matters.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

Communication is everything. And it's so simple yet so complex. We are so blessed to have a God that understands all our thoughts and intentions. As fallen humans we don't have that but with others we must take our fathers lead in that pause of compassion and patience in our communication with each other. It's hard sometimes to follow that. But we must keep trying!
