because it was crowded it was easy to over hear conversations, and i'm the worst at that. i noticed a girl 2 tables over crying and as usual i started to get curious and wondered why she would be so sad and i felt bad for her. the lady at the table next to her started consoling her and talking to her and her dad. this woman continued to talk with this girl for about 30 more minutes and before she left she hugged the girl and her dad. i was amazed by her thoughtfulness and how much she cared for this stranger.
i often feel compassion for people quietly and conveniently continue about my way. this lady actually showed compassion instead of just feeling it. she really made me think about my actions. i have so many opportunities to love people, even if they are strangers. next time, hopefully i won't just feel it.
Em talked about Cafe Brazil today on her blog! So cool! You are such a compassionate person and you always help when you know you need to! That is what got me through my first few months in OK! I couldn't have done without your compassionate heart and sacrificial time!
ReplyDeletethanks sasha, cafe brazil is awesome, i say Em's post, i might go there after work for free crepes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice reflection. We could all work on slowing down and taking a moment to help someone in need. Even if it's just a smile. Thanks for the visit. We hope to see you back soon!
