In this fast
paced world, some of us have become so wrapped up in ourselves that we have
forgotten to care for others. Not only the strangers that we pass on the
street, but also the individuals in our families, who we interact with
regularly. While it is imperative that we take time for ourselves and ensure we
are feeling good, it is also important that we care for those around us.
This
afternoon I’ll be participating in an event in the Bronx – Bronx Compassion
Sabbath. Young people from a few churches will get together at Crotona Park South
for a free concert. In addition, they’ll be giving out free hugs, prayers and
blood pressure readings. For some, it may sound like a simple and meaningless
task, but for those in need of “compassion” it is quite meaningful. If you are
in the Bronx area around 4:30pm, feel free to join us. If not, plan a “compassion”
activity of your own.
The sun is
shining brightly in NY today. Make sure you share that brightness with someone
who may be feeling gloomy on the inside.
You’ve been tagged with “compassion,”
now go share it.
Happy
Sabbath.
