We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

EMPATHY! That's the first thing I notice about the Samaritan traveling on the Jericho road.
When he saw the bandits' victim lying on the road, he didn't just observe him, he identified with him.
He helped him. He cared. He showed compassion.
There is a quiet power in compassion.
When we show empathy it's almost like we become a part of the person we care about.
We may be a victim in need of empathy. We may be a compassionate "Samaritan."
We may not be able to control everything that happens on the road, but know this--we are on the road doing something.

Very true! I enjoyed this. I had to come visit and catch up on the posts I'd missed the past few days/over the weekend.
Hope you have a good week.
