I was sitting in a packed physician’s waiting room today and a young solo pregnant Mom was called back by one of the nurses. She got up and slowly walked over to the doorway and fainted into the arms of the young nurse. There was an audible gasp by many and several people, including myself, then sprang into action to help her.
I must admit that I was overwhelmed by the capacity of compassion that total strangers were capable of in that moment. The interesting thing is that in that moment no one cared about the color of her skin or her status or her religious or political affiliation or even her sexual orientation. They all just saw a woman in need and innately reacted accordingly.
I truly believe that this shows that when we strip everything else away, what remains is a raw human being that was created and designed in the likeness of a God that’s capable of immeasurable love and compassion. And since we were created in His likeness we honor him by demonstrating the same to His people.
Simply put: We all may have arrived to this country on different ships, but we’re all in the same boat in this “life” thing. So, let’s continue to be the face and hands of unbridled Love, Kindness and Compassion and pass it on.
Don’t miss your opportunities.
Btw, that little pregnant Mom is OK now. 🙂
Let’s Make it GREAT!!!
