the brother
the brother walked around just like everyone else.

burdened with the typical cares and concerns of life.

finances, health relationships, desires.

some looked at him and saw one thing others looked and saw another

some viewed from an attitude of brotherhood

others from and attitude of superiority

the brother just lived his life just like everyone else

but hidden there woven into the threads of his existence

was his ministry.

dont get me wrong he wasnt a minister per se

but he did have a ministry

invisible unless u really really watched

because the brother had a gift

he liked to listen to people and he actually liked people

he believed that all were equal and he was interested in everyone

no matter who they were because he realized that everyone was interesting

and when he listened these things came across

and people enjoyed talking to him

because they became unburdened

like i said this was hidden it was even hidden to the brother

but it was his ministry and he loved it that much he knew

he loved listening and he loved connecting

and he enjoyed it and so did those who spoke to him.

we all have a ministry and we are all brothers or sisters

it might not be visible and it might not even be appreciated

by many and we might not even be aware of it

but it is important and it contributes to the harmony an the

peace of this world

or at least thats the way it seems to me
