Learn to listen.

Do not always be quick to respond
to an error in someone else's statement
or reasoning.
Do not always be quick to interject
your two-cents' worth.
For in the listening, in the quiet-
ness, you can hear God, even through
other people.
 Even through others' wrongnesses
you can hear God's rightness, if
and only if you do not presume to
judge.  (Or, at least, not presume
to judge in haste, or in/with vanity.)

Listen with Love.

Help inasmuch as you are called to help,
as you are able.  Too much/too little--
both can be bad.  Help as you, YOU, are
able--not the you you wish you were, but
the you who you are.  Trust in God:  He
will help you account for what you are
able to do... and watch as your abilities
grow.

He is there.

Listen.
