COMPASSION



The late Colonel Sanders (of Kentucky Fried Chicken) was on an airplane when an infant screamed & would not stop even though the mother & flight attendants tried every trick they could think of.

Finally the Colonel asked if he could hold the baby. He gently rocked the baby to sleep.

Later a passenger said, “We all appreciate what you did for us.”

Colonel Sanders replied, “I didn’t do it for us, I did it for the baby.”

“People may excite in themselves a glow of compassion, not by toasting their feet at the fire, and saying: "Lord, teach me compassion," but by going and seeking an object that requires compassion.”  -  Henry Ward Beecher.

Zech 7:9 (NIV): This is what the Lord Almighty said: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.”
