Blog Thoughts: Compassion Part TWO

​I spoke about COMPASSION this morning. It is on my mind with the events in the world. I took this picture privately in our church service several years ago. I wanted to wait for some time to pass before posting as the lovely woman to the right had passed shortly afterwards. Sitting next to her is her son. She was struggling, but she loved to sing. Knowing her time was limited, she wanted to sing at church one last time. He was sitting next to me and my kids before I saw a look, a tear in his eyes and he got up and sat in her wheelchair beside her. He put his arm around her and embraced his mama with the love and compassion she has embraced him as a baby, child, young adult and grown man. It spoke to me on so many levels. The flawless beauty and example of compassion and love is one I come back to on my most difficult days. So, I share to encourage you to remember these moments in your life present and past that have molded who you are today. If you haven't done so already, bring those memories to the surface and BE THAT COMPASSION and LOVE to your neighbor. If there is anything I recognize more in our world today is that we need more of this.
