Just me trying to be honest with God.

Do I talk “with” the people in my life, or “at” them?

We have all felt the brunt of having someone talk at you and not with you. We would do well to remember how this made us feel and avoid doing it to others. On the other hand, it is a wonderful grace when someone respects you as a person and talks with you. There is as much listening as there is sharing in all profitable conversation. Don’t just avoid bossy people, avoid being one. Give the blessing of mutual respect and the joy of hearing and being heard.
