How do you listen?

God has taught me over the years how to listen. I use to think that if someone started talking to me I had to give them advise or try to fix their problem. God has shown me that keeping my mouth shut is more helpful then to open it. I have had friends that just need someone to listen and I feel I am becoming a better listener. I hope that you will stop and listen to your friends. Don't say anything just be. Hope that you have a great week and until next time, may God bless you in abundance.
