With the sometimes seemingly inconceivable state of the world today, we all need to pause … take a breath … and listen.
Our Porch Company annual holiday card encompasses the theme “LISTEN.” Even better stated, in the Bible, James 1:19, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Listen. The refrain often stated and somehow at times forgotten.
Lest we be reminded from songwriters Regency Noel and Shain Gloria Adele as they penned the Christmas classic “Do You Hear What I Hear.”
“Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light”
As we pause to thank you for your friendship and your business, we want to share some thoughts about “Listening” from our Porch Company family to yours.
Josh: “The world is giving you answers each day. Learn to listen.”
Adam: “Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you would rather have talked.” (Mark Twain)
Dakota: “Listen to the eternal silence of the universe, as it has much to say.”
Keith: “Speaking is saying what you already know. Listening helps you learn something new.”
Samantha: “Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.”
Allison: “Extend grace to others and listen to understand, not just to hear.”
And in gratitude for the trust you have placed in The Porch Company, Nancy says it best:
“It’s by listening to our clients that we know how to serve them best.”
From The Porch Company and Porch Store Family To Your Family, Merry Christmas!
