Everyone needs a listening ear at some time...


 


A Listening Ear


By


h. lena jones


 


 


Sometimes when we grieve


We’d rather be alone


Or talk to someone


With a listening ear!


 


It isn’t that we seek advice


On how to mend a broken heart


And so ease the pain of grief


That is the last thing we need


It’s just that talking offers release


And a listening ear brings comfort!


 


“Weeping may endure for a night,


but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5


 


So if blessed with a listening ear


Lend it to that hurting someone


To show just how much you care


And without doubt you have done


A mighty deed even though you were silent


He was at work in your midst!


 


“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage


and He shall strengthen thine heart…”


Psalm 27:14

Though few and far between as Richard has stated, as rare as it is in this world, it does exist still, I havent become that cynical yet :)
Just letting someone rattle on when they are in pain, says, I care enough about you, to allow you to take up time in my day, and even though we do not have the answers to ppls problems, more often than not, ppl just by talking about things, actually come to conclusions all by themselves, there is strength is the silent listener. Interjecting only where it is necessary, so the speaker dosent get the impression he/she is being ignored.
A problem shared is a problem halved, if the listener is of good character and conviction!!
Totally loved this write, ty Lena.
God bless
Ch'erie

I've heard it said that's why the Lord gave us
two ears and one mouth. That we should listen
"twice as much" as we talk. Hmmm.
Thanks, Lena.

I have learned, in my own life, that nobody "really" listens and that most (not all) pretend that they care.

They pretend to understand while placating the visble weaknesses of another. I have rarely had a conversation with another who wasn't thinking about what they would be saying when you stopped talking, or looking for the imperfections or anomalies in your character. No one really gives anymore, most want something in return.

One of the biggest problems in this society is communication, or the lack thereof. Real communication is in its death throes. I'm typing words on a computer screen to communicate with you. And to you I am just words on a computer screen that seem to have a personality and a spirit.

People see what is unlike them, or what they don't like in others, and then try to proselyse them into being more like them. of course there are exceptions, but I have found this to be the norm more often than not.

Who has a compassionate, wise, and listening ear anymore?

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
