And then.... I saw this tiny quote lifted from the movie "Patch Adams" which said ..... "If we don’t show compassion, who will?"
That is right, you know. We can't just wait for someone to come along and show compassion for the least of our brothers....... someone more intelligent, more moneyed, more charitable, more religious, more resourceful, more creative, more inclined towards such a task. Although these too have its uses.
But we can be that person with just who we are and what we have. It's not how much you can give but how you give. Compassion will show you how.
Blessings to you all. Remember God loves you.
Ellen,
ReplyDeleteAll one needs is WILL to help others. Everything else follows automatically.
Take care
Compassion, like the will, is a gift. But we are responsible for how to use it.
DeleteTake care too, Jack. Blessings!
Compassion need not be always in money or materials.A gentle pat,an encouraging word,a hand to lift,a smile in the face,a Hi to the desolate and an empathy in the eyes-these are all within our reach.
ReplyDeleteA small but powerful post
You have said it beautifully. Indeed it's not always the grand gesture of generosity but also the small unselfish acts of care and sharing.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Blessings!
Thank you for sharing, we need to be reminded of things like these.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I come back to these words every time. So nice to see you, Raajii. I hope all's well at your end. Wish you blessings!

Gandhi said "be the change you want to see in the world". How very true. Christ said something very similar 2000 years ago. Love is greater than hate, and light greater than darkness.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Ellen.
