Compassion 101

“Pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5;17-18.
The hands of compassion echo kindheartedness like Christ conveyed. To the Good Samaritan’s mind, cost discounted; duty outweighed. In disparate worlds without slurs the hands of compassion echo. It matters not where needs occur; they’re unique, unlike art deco. They are hands that go way beyond never grabbing, never gripping; the hands of compassion echo, off’ring help for someone slipping. To make the diff’rence in God’s sight, always pray, give thanks and check - "Oh that we could know His perfect will!" the hands of compassion echo.

thanks, Andrea. As a former teacher, I value repetition in poetry forms. As for commercials on TV, my reception is not so favorable, as it is overdone. How old is that tree that Wm Duvane praises for Rosalund Capital; the commercial has to be at least 5 years old?
