Practice listening without interrupting, letting God take control. “Be quick to listen, slow to speak." (James 1:19)
Every time you truly listen, you are letting God take control to help you respond in calm, thoughtful & helpful ways, also showing someone that they matter.
One day u learn the words to a spanish Christmas song, around 15 years later u use that song’s lyrics to respond to ur bestie’s mom wishing u Feliz Navidad from Mexico… 😭
This is one of Christian churches in Mosul. If this photo doesn’t make you cry I don’t know what will?! From a vibrant society at a staggering 1.5 million population in Iraq only 2 decades ago, now there is not even enough people to carry on Christmas masses here in this church and hundreds of churches across Iraq and Syria. Where did things went wrong? Or better to ask where did not things go wrong?. Christians, Mandeans, Kakays left Iraq, minorities left Syria. Yazidis are leaving at rate of thousands every year from Iraq and less than 5000 people remain in Syria . Photo credit @thestevennabil
Idk what’s more wild, smn stopping me in the street of Venice asking to take a pic of my sandals or being offered neurology internship in the US by a dementia expert and consultant whom I happened to sit next to on a water taxi
