They Are Listening
March 15
Carolyn Bjerke and Ken Stock
Children do not become who we tell them to be. They become who we show them how to be.
They are listening to how we speak about our neighbors. They are watching how we handle anger, difference, apology, and power. Long before they understand our beliefs, they are absorbing our patterns. This service reflects on the quiet moral formation happening all the time in homes, churches, and communities. What are we teaching about courage? About kindness? About who belongs?
Paying attention, in this case, is an act of responsibility. Our lives are speaking. The question is: what are they saying?
