Good morning lovees! It's a great day today have a great day! A great day to be thankful for all that you've been given! A great to show love and compassion to all those you meet!
Compassion is defined as such in the dictionary...a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. Wow!! That to me also sounds like love. That being said, I CANNOT stress enough that we need to have compassion for each other!!!
Each and every day we come in contact with people. You have absolutely no idea the storms they may be going through when you meet. Some may be going through, or have recently gone through divorce. Some nay be facing or in the midst of bankruptcy. Some may be facing financial stresses that you can't even fathom. Some may be dealing with familial situations that have them heavily burdened. And you know what? There are some that are going through all of these things at the same time!!! Think about that as you meet people! Think about how you might feel if faced with one or more of the above situations. Then, think if there is anything you can do to help. Maybe you can buy them lunch. Maybe you can offer advice. Maybe you can only offer a cup of coffee and a listening ear. That's ok. Sometimes all folks need is someone to listen.
Perhaps you are on the mountain top in your life and can't understand some of the above situations. That's ok. But I beg of you, please be kind to others. Don't make light of their sad situation because yours is so good at the moment. Maybe, maybe they too were once on the mountain top and have now fallen into the valley. Put away your pride and offer them a hand!! Offer some...compassion.
Perhaps today it's you who finds yourself in that Valley. Lean friend. Lean on those around you. Leaning is hard when you're naturally a strong personality. Trust me, I know. But I want you to know it's ok to lean. It's ok to not be strong for a minute. You're human.
Have a blessed day friends!
Love and hugs...
