We Want To Be Listen Too

Last Monday in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA a black man

George Floyd was killed by a police officer while being

arrested. Floyd was on the ground with the officer having

his hand on him where he ended up not able to breath.

The officer is now charged with murder.

Throughout the USA there has been protesting along with

cars being set on Friday and looting of businesses. For your

understanding there has been several groups in the cities

including Seattle which is near where I live.

The protestors have been peaceful for the most part while

there was a group of looters who didn't care about George

Floyd. They went to stores taking all sorts of things. 

In Seattle this happened on Saturday while nearby Bellevue

had it going on Sunday. Seattle had protesting on Sunday

as well however it was peaceful for the most part while

Bellevue had a group being peaceful while others were

looting.

Interesting the police chief of Bellevue was able to speak

with the peaceful protestors. He and the leading protestor

exchanged phone numbers so they can talk in the future

as well.

What I got out of all this is those who came to protest 

wanted to be listen to. In Bellevue they were listen to.

It comes down to the fact we all want to be listen to, and

for some of us it doesn't happen. It doesn't matter whether

you are black. brown or white or whatever you are sometimes

you want to be listen too.

When it comes to our life purpose part of our mission should

be to listen to others and for them to listen to us. Not just

hear the words but actually listen. Amen!
