I just couldn’t help overhearing this comment from one student to another: “I knew she was having a bad day so I just called her and listened for a while.” I don’t know if the person having a bad day was a friend or a mom or a sister or someone else within the student’s circle relationships. Somewhere in the world, a person’s day was made a little better because a Samford student “listened for a while.”
The world is better when we stop to listen.
