		<description><![CDATA[This post is a reflection based on this story of Abdu&#8217;l-Baha: It is quickly becoming evident that the virtue of each reflection is my test du jour.  Trusting in God is the theme of recent days because we are homeless, jobless, and penniless. The sacrifice of our recent full-time service is being keenly felt now in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One day a woman came to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá with her sorrows. As she told her story,‘Abdu’l-Bahá tried to calm her and said, “Don’t be sad now, don’t be sad.” The Woman said, “My brother has been in prison for three years. He should not have been imprisoned because it was not his fault. He was weak [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is a response to this story: Reading this story about Abdu&#8217;l-Baha was wonderful, and easy. Trying to listen to others the way that Abdu&#8217;l-Baha did, was (and is?) challenging. With an imagination that runs wild, I sometimes find it hard to focus on the &#8220;here and now&#8221;, or, as some people refer to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is written in response to this story of Abdu&#8217;l-Baha: It is easy to be silent and listen when you are experiencing culture shock; when you find yourself wide-eyed in public, stunned by the people around you and by what they choose to say. While living in a country where I did not speak the [...]]]></description>

From the collegiate with his, or her, &#8220;line,&#8221; to the lawyer, doctor, minister, statesman&#8211;a ready answer, a witty bon mot, a wise remark, a knowing smile was stock-in-trade.

First, in a group of people expecting Him to give a speech/lecture, He tells funny stories. Then He explains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A reflection on this story of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá: Being exasperated is my schtick &#8212;  my stand-up self usually emerges when I am frustrated, angry, disappointed, hurt or teeth-clenchingly challenged. At my wit&#8217;s end is often when I&#8217;m wittiest. A defense mechanism to prevent me from blubbering and sobbing in front of others? Probably. But what if I [...]]]></description>

C., invited Him to Dublin, New Hampshire, where she had an estate. During the summer months, many people prominent in the life of [...]]]></description>
