Listen, Love, Repeat: Other-Centered Living in a Self-Centered World
Listen, Love, Repeat: Other-Centered Living in a Self-Centered World | Karen Ehman
27 posts | 2 read | 2 reading | 3 to read
Our culture is obsessed with self. In our schedules, our relationships, and especially online. (Can you say selfie ?) But in the midst of this near-narcissism, people are less content than in decades past. Why? Because we have forgotten the joy that comes from putting others first. Becoming such a person requires us to live alert, listening for "heart drops," hints from those in our lives who might need a helping hand or a generous dose of encouragement. Living alert lifts our own spirits, showing us that blessing others blesses us even more. Listen, Love, Repeat gives practical, creative ideas for reaching out. Some are heart-tugging and sentimental. Others are sneaky and hilarious. Topics include loving your family and friends, reaching out to the lonely, blessing the "necessary people" who help you get life done every day, and how to love the hard to love. Bonus material includes recipes for sharing. Additionally, scriptural examples are studied of those who lived alert, including Jesus the one who noticed those who least expected to be noticed. As we scatter kindness, we create a safe space where we can openly share the gospel with others. And we get to see lives changed right before our eyes not only the lives of others, but our lives as well. Most importantly, Listen, Love, Repeat will enable us to scatter kindness, not to selfishly shout, Hey! Look at me! but in order to humbly implore, Well will you look at him? "

Karen‘s down to earth practical voice rings throughout this book and I‘m sharing a cup of coffee with her over the kitchen tables she loves so much. Her wisdom, based in biblical truths, is memorable and enlightening. I feel enabled to take my journey of faith to a new level of living as Christ did. I loved the prayers at the end of the chapters, the recipes are amazing and I found the things to try encouraging, practical and challenging.

"Entertaining puts the emphasis on you and your home and seeks to impress others. In contrast, hospitality puts the emphasis on your guest and seeks to help them to feel refreshed, not impressed, when they leave your home." From @karenehman in her new Book #ListenLoveRepeat http://amzn.to/2cQSUtK

"As we display love within the uniqueness of our family, we show to the world just how God draws us near, giving us a place of welcome." Just one of the lines of wisdom from @karenehman Her encouragement to pray for our family, those we choose for ourselves, stuck with me. This is my beautiful prayer view. #listenloverepeat #pray

Reading Chapter 8 of #listenloverepeat by @karenehman and so love this line "Slow and steady wins the race to touch the heart of the cantankerous", having been the hard-to-love one who was loved like this, I can tell you, it's totally worth loving passed the spikes to get to the soft and squishy! I had been so broken previously I had so many guards up! I know I'm a #workinprogress so I need to love others who are too!

"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:12. Weeping. Rejoicing. Associating. Living humbly in harmony with others. Jesus modeled these behaviors for us. #ListenLoveRepeat by @karenehman ? http://amzn.to/2cQSUtK

"If our perspective each day can be “I am in it for you” instead of “What is in it for me?” we will discover the joy of serving Jesus—without expecting anything in return and done only for an audience of One. We may show this kind of love to family or friends. Or we might demonstrate it in a random encounter with a stranger. Either way, the stage is set for us to showcase God‘s love to a watching world." #listenliverepeat #motherhood

This book is so great at reminding me to look for ways to build connections with the people around me. God has placed the people you encounter every day into your care. My family, the cashier at the grocery store, all the people I encounter are placed there by God, that I might shine His light on them. -#listenloverepeat
