Pastoral Care – March 29, 2020

30 March 2020

I heard a noise yesterday in the house I had never heard before. I asked my friend, “What is that noise?” She said she heard nothing. I shrugged it off.

Some time later I heard the same noise. Again, I asked, “What is that noise?” Her reply was, “I did not hear anything.” I said, “You did not hear that?” “No, I did not hear anything.”

Once again, the noise happened. What is going on? She denied hearing the noise again. I walk into the kitchen to see what it could be. Then the light bulb in my head came it. It is my hearing aids. They are telling me the batteries need recharging.

Of course, she cannot hear it. It was something I could only hear because the hearing aids are in my ears! Did I continue to walk around the rest of the day simply letting the noise continue? Of course not. I recharged them.
Jesus speaks to us individually. Are you listening and responding?

James 1:22, “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

Rev. Jane
