... I am overwhelmed.
I was sitting in the car waiting for mom to finish buying the produce. As I was sitting there I saw a young man walk up and immediately I felt such an overwhelming compassion and such a deep love for the people of 'my' great nation! This young man was mentally and physically handicap. Three of his fingers were crooked, his left lip, cheek, and eyebrow were constantly twitching, and I doubt there was a straight tooth in his mouth; and yet, I couldn't help but feeling such a love for him! I thought about him all they way home. I wondered, 'Jesus, is this a little of what you felt when you walked on this earth so many years ago? Filled with such compassion and love?'
I pray that I will continue loving these people with the deep love that I felt today!! Give a hug, share a smile... let someone know you care today!!
