Towards a bigger heart

"If some dirt falls into our water glass, we won’t drink that water, we’ll have to throw it away. But if we put that dirt into an immense river, we can still use the water. The river is big; it can accept the dirt and we can drink the water...."  ~Thich Nhat Hanh

You don't diminish Niagara Falls by spitting into it.

A small heart is offended by the smallest of offenses.  A large heart absorbs the pain.  A small heart remembers every hurt.  A large heart works to release itself from every hurt.

If the Grinch's heart grew, then so can ours. 

Pray for empathy.  Cease from judging others.  Begin to see the good.

Give the grace to others that you would want to receive yourself.  Oh, who said that?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
