compassion

This quote showed up in my mailbox at church.  I don't know who it is from, but I liked it.

To recognize need, and to respond, one must not only see with eyes, but also with heart.
The capability to help, absent the comprehension  of and the compassion to the plight and the commitment to betterment, is a sad waste of capability.

Compassion, empathy, tolerance, optimism, dedication, capability, etc. grow and strengthen each time employed.
To see need and not respond is a lost opportunity to warm and grow all hearts.

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