When you feel guilty, what do you do about it?

Listening and patience are the skills that are easy to do yet takes lots of practice. How good are you?

The theme of listening runs through the parable of the farmer scattering seed. Notice how Jesus describes the progression from hearing to listening to understanding. The more we listen and the better we listen, the more we understand. That's certainly true of Jesus' teachings, but it also applies to conversations between loved ones.
