Then [the two disciples] said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32
What language do I speak when I open my heart to others? The language of humility? sincerity? hope? faith?
When others speak to me from their hearts, in what language do I listen? The language of compassion? acceptance? non-judgment? peace?
Today I will practice speaking and listening with love. It’s the language we all share in common.
Mary Ann McSweeny 
“What language do I speak when I open my heart to others?” Challenging question. I hope the language I speak is one of love and grace. Be blessed today and find a way to bless someone else.
