How does reflecting on God's compassion form how you think of yourself?
In light of God’s compassion for you, how might you approach how you interact with your kids in your daily routines this week?
“Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it’s like to live inside somebody else’s skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.”
Frederick Buechner // “Wishful Thinking”
