Compassion

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.
