Kevin and I have still been on west coast time this past week which has meant a couple hours of pillow talk through the night.
One of our conversations stood out to me and I thought I would share.
Sometimes we all get too busy to share our lives with one another. While we would like to think that we care about people and that people care about us, often we all only share the abridged version of our lives with one another for the sake of time or privacy or whatever else.
Storytelling is imperative to truly living in community with one another.
We need to share more, ask more, and learn from each other's mistakes and joys. This is a special blessing that we have living in a global and increasingly connected world. Truly, loving one another and appreciating each other's stories. Affirming each other's stories despite any prejudices or judgments we might have.
When at home, work, or with friends... ask someone how they are doing and what they have been up to lately. Actively listen to the answer and affirm their story.
