Dear God,

Thank you for your great compassion.  Thank you for creating compassion in us.

Today my friend and I worked hours going through donations for immigrants who have come to our shore, people with little to nothing, those who are fleeing violence, government corruption and poverty.  We could not believe how much there was.

Every item is a gift of compassion.  Yes, it may be used or not but each one is a gift of love.  A dish, a toy for a child, a blanket, pots and pans or hygiene supplies all say, "We love you." And how can we love the stranger if not with a heart of compassion?

Thank you
for love
for all
your children.
Thank you
for blessing us
with compassion
to help those
in need.
Show us
the way
to more deeply
become compassionate people.

Love, Andrea
