OPEN TO REASON (Day 3 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
OK, we are on for a day of practice.
But the wisdom from above is … open to reason … James 3:17 ESV
Try to take your day at a pace where you can notice when people are opening up to share their thoughts and opinions.
Maybe take the time just to listen or ask a couple of questions. The nice thing about questions is that you can ask them to understand. You’re not saying you agree. You are just being curious and giving yourself time to get another’s perspective.
The scripture doesn’t say you always have to agree with others. It says you are willing to listen, that you are open to reason.
I like this. A lot. It’s such a peaceable and respectful way of relating to people.
We just got a Chinese Checkers board, mostly for something to play with the grandkids, buts it’s an all around quick, fun game.
I love having a few games on hand for a little play. (One of my favorite memories was when the power went out and we played Mexican Train by lamplight.)
