Great to see you, Mayor.

There are not enough hours in the day. With our heat, it is almost impossible to sleep at night. Since I don’t sleep, I sleep later because it has finally gotten a little cooler. Then of course, I need a nap in the afternoon.

Pushes everything into a 2 hour shift. LOL

I’m looking forward to September.

Thank you for sharing ODB every morning. We appreciate you. Hugs.

[JustAmy]

Listen and Learn

Bible in a Year:

• Psalms 10–12
• Acts 19:1–20

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

James 1:19

On one side of the street a homeowner displays in his yard a giant blow-up bald eagle draped in a US flag. A big truck sits in the driveway. Its side window features a painted flag and the back bumper is covered with patriotic stickers. Directly across the street in a neighbor’s yard are signs that highlight the slogans for current social justice issues in the news.

Are the people in these homes feuding or friends? we might wonder. Is it possible that both families are believers in Jesus? God calls us to live out the words of James 1:19: “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Too often we stubbornly hold on to our opinions and aren’t willing to consider what others are thinking. Matthew Henry's Commentary has this to say: “We should be swift to hear reason and truth on all sides, and be slow to speak . . . and, when we do speak, there should be nothing of wrath.”

Someone has said, “Learning requires listening.” The practical words from God in the book of James can only be accomplished if we’re filled with God’s loving Spirit and choose to respect others. He’s willing to help us make changes in our hearts and attitudes. Are we open to listen and learn?

Reflect & Pray

How does God want you to put James 1 into practice? Whom might you need to listen to and hear?

You know me, God. I can be opinionated sometimes. Help me to be quick to listen and slow to speak.

Hi Peaches! Naps were taken here as well. Rainy day today.

Cute bunny! Saw a stray cat today, a nice yellow stripey that I’ve seen wander through the yard a couple times recently on its usual hunting path. Looks very healthy, a good hunter.
