a Mighty Word ~ compassion

"The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold." Acts 28:2

How are you surviving these bitter, wintery cold days?  Many of us are blessed with comfort and warmth... inside and out.  But some face difficulties that are foreign to us.

As children of God, let's continue to be present-day islanders to those facing cold, emptiness and pain by exhibiting compassionate hearts.

May we do good to all those around us...
not because we know them,
not because others are watching,
not because it makes us feel good,
not because someone else does,

but because it's the right thing to do.

Father, fill us with the ability, strength and desire to bring joy, comfort, love and Your Light to a cold and hurting world.

When we make music together, the whole world has reason to sing.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
