A friend sent this website to me. http://oneword365.com/
He directed me to it after a long conversation about life and coming into a New Year. I had made the obligatory resolutions yesterday and promised myself that this year would be the year I lost weight and saved to eventually make it to Australia. I read through and started thinking, what one word could be my moral compass, what one word could guide me through 365 days and make me better. Loving? we could all use a little more of that. Forgiving? because sometimes you just need to, especially when it comes to yourself. Patience? Too hard maybe!
So on the eve of a fresh New Year I finally came to my word. LISTEN, because there has never been a time in my life when I have stopped to listen and regretted it. Because my God and my husband and my friends deserve to be heard. Because the most beautiful, powerful and life changing words have certainly not come out of my mouth. Because you can't multi task listening - it really requires slowing down. Slowing down means being patience to forgive to love and to listen.
As this year flies past like it inevitably will, I hope and pray to come back to this in 365 days and after listening and I pray listening well, really know my heart is fuller for it.
