In a conversation, listening assumes paramount importance. A good listener keeps the conversation going smoothly and productively. Listening is an important skill one needs to acquire. It requires a good amount patience too!

If we think that we know what other person is going to talk about, it impairs our listening ability. Listen carefully while others talk. That is one way to show respect. May be the other person is trying to convey something important. All we have to do is to suppress the urge to talk, but listen! The bible puts it this way

 Know this, my beloved brothers: Everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, James 1:19

There would be times when we feel disappointed because of the illness of our dear ones or ourselves. Such situations are highly unpredictable and hard to manage. It depends on person to person and their background that determines how they react to difficult times.

Keeping a calm mind will help us in times of distress. Have a realistic view of the situation and extend whatever support we can. After that, trust in God, believe in him and do whatever we can to reduce the stress and the pain of a person with the illness. God will deliver us! That’s the promise he is giving through his written word, The Bible.

Look at your own body. How well it is designed and organized. Science is now able to decode the instructions from DNA. The meticulous instructions from DNA are not by accident, but somebody must have been encoded earlier, by an intelligent creator!

Look at everything around us that declares the glory of God. Our nature is a good testimonial about a loving God. God has made it perfect for us to live a happy life!

Going through the Bible provides us real hope and strength to endure the hard times we’re going through. Real hope is waiting for us just around the corner.

Be quite! Let me have a closer look. Somebody is coming on my way.

I didn’t know what to do! I was in the middle of the road with my red beauty stopping every now and then! My car is a bit old, but reliable! With all those vehicles around me, it was embarassing. Somehow, I managed to pull my car into the parking lot of a nearby store. Only then, I noticed the temperature read in my dashboard. The needle toughed the “H”. Only then did I realize that my car is red hot. I opened my bonnet, and fumes were coming out of the bonnet.

I called a mechanic, but being Dec 25th, nobody was around. So, I waited for some time, until my friends reached. They poured a few bottles of water into the coolant box. Now the car was starting, but there was another problem. The water is leaking. Somehow, I managed to get the car to a nearby garage.

After two days of waiting, I went there to pick up my car. The repair work was done neatly. The mechanic advised me about what needed to be done to avoid such problems in the future. Happily, I took my car, and on my way home, I heard a big sound from my car. When I looked into the dashboard, I saw the battery warning light.

Finally, I made it to another mechanic, nearby home. He inspected the car and told me that the belt was broken and that needs a replacement. Now I am waiting for my red beauty after the repair.
