Hearing and ListenHearing and ListenHearing and ListenHearing and ListenHow many times has some-

bodya teacher, your motheror father, or even a friend

told you to LISTEN? Sometimeswe DO hear something, but that doesnt

mean we are really listening!

In todays Gospel reading, we hear astory about somebody who goes out to

the field to plant seeds. Some seeds never

sprout at all. Some seeds sprout at first

and then die. But some seeds fall onto

good dirt, and they do sprout. They grow

and grow and give a good crop.This story shows how we should hear

Gods teachings. Its easy to hearthem,

but we also have to listen. That means in

church, or in church school, or when we read our Bib

parents tell us about Jesus Christ, we listen. We try to

words about God and put them into our hearts. We trwords, and not just hearthem.

God wants usGod wants usGod wants usGod wants us
