Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:People have always wanted to talk to me about their problems. I guess I'm a good listener. Maybe I have something to contribute after all.--Joann ReedNo one is without value in this life. Maybe we haven't discovered our unique purpose or special gifts, but we each have a place in the universe or we wouldn't be here. Each of us can offer friends a valuable gift every day - we can listen. Messages from our Higher Power often come through the words of others. We perform a wonderful service for our companions by listening and by sharing our own experience and advice. Rapt attention - giving it and receiving it - is perhaps the most valuable contribution any of us can make. Let's never underestimate the sacredness of listening.I will keep my own mind quiet if a friend wants to share concerns today. That way, my heart may be able to offer wisdom.
