Powerful post. ” …there’s enough nothingness swallowing the living world. don’t add to it. there’s enough.” – this hit me. Sometimes it feels overwhelming and we feel powerless but I can “lend a hand” to someone with the nearest wound and that makes a difference to them. Thank you for sharing

Oddly, the nearest wound may be the one we try to forget about, the one hardest to face, and perhaps even the key to solving numerous other wounds.

Lisa, this is a beautiful quote and piece of love and compassion. I have been thinking about this too. How to have compassion and grace instead of anger and hurt. Which heals our hurt too. Then we can help those near to us who our wounded.

you know I was just thinking about this, this week. About showing love and compassion to others who might have differing beliefs than us. This >”we each still have the ability to look at each other through the eyes of God. And offer compassion” captured me today. I want to be “Intentional ” in doing my best to do so.
Thank you for sharing this blessed post with Sweet Tea & Friends this month.

I love this thought, Lisa. Profound and full of possibility. If we are only able to do our best, that’s enough. Focusing on all the many broken parts of society may lead us to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Focusing on what I can change and what I let challenge me to rise to overcome is how you eat an elephant: one bite at a time. And when that elephant is shared? It’s eaten a lot faster. Thanks for the great thought.

It truly eases my anxiety when I feel overwhelmed either with huge international issues/disasters or within my own home to remember that I can’t fix everything. There are forces out of my control. But I can help the nearest wounded, I can always pray for them, or pray for guidance in how to help someone near me(physically or emotionally) and it is sometimes my own heart that needs to be tended.
