“Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
Yesterday was different. I was overcome with a feeling of sadness that these folks have no place to go at night. What ever their story, however they got to this place in life, it is just very sad that they don't have a house or a bed or a pillow.
We met a new young woman at the park who had been cutting herself. Moved with compassion, Dick went back to her and gave her his number at the church. [see attached photo]
The world would be a better place if there was more empathy and compassion. And you know we can't do much to encourage compassion in others, but we are personally responsible for the level of compassion that we personally show.
The world needs more kindness.
