Dear Old Brian,
Today I just wanted to offer you some encouragement by saying I think the way you have been listening to others has, by God's grace, been a great blessing to them.

It really is helpful when someone listens with a genuine ear of concern, with eyes of understanding, with a heart of empathy, and a mind that is slow to give advice. I know I find that helpful when others listen to me, and I am sure that I do not express enough appreciation to those who are good at listening.
So, keep on! Be encouraged and continue to encourage and love others both in your hearing and in your speaking. Let the Spirit continue to grow in you a humble and abundant heart for others.
Grace and peace,
New Brian
New Brian
