thought for the week . . .

• We hear what we are listening for.
   
  Two men were walking along a crowded city sidewalk. Suddenly, one of the men remarked, “listen to the lovely sound of that cricket,” But the other man could not hear the sound.
  He asked his fiend how he could hear the sound of a cricket amid the roar of the traffic and the sound of the people. The first man, who was a zoologist, had trained himself to h hear the sounds of nature.
  He did not explain to his friend in words how he could hear the sound of the cricket, but instead, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a half-dollar coin, dropped it onto the sidewalk, and watched intently as a dozen people began to look for the coin as they heard it clanking around amid the sounds of the traffic and the sounds of the city. He turned  to the his friend and said, “we hear what we listen for.”
  
  Are we listening for God in the noise of our life ?
