Compassion Defined

Page 178 – The Bottle House Debbie thought for a moment. “If I’m compassionate, it means I’m concerned about the difficulties another person is experiencing.” “Good. Compassion is a first cousin of empathy. Now tell me how being concerned with another’s difficulties is a strength.” “It means I’m not talking down to them but sitting

Always Looking Ahead

869) There are things in life that I don’t want to think about; things that will happen and I have no control over it. For example, I know that my little dog is probably not going to out-live me. I dread the day. There are also people that are dear to me that may die

High Approval Rate

868) We place value or approval on people for multiple reasons. We might attribute value on people in our family; on people in our church; or on people at work. We may value the ones who are committed to living their lives with morals and biblical standards. But, what about the people who claim to

The Never-ending Story

867) I get the idea, that what happens in this world is the end of the story. This thinking is far from biblical. There is a life beyond this one, according to scriptures, and it would be helpful for me to think of this more often. If I remember this truth, things that are like

Different Kinds of Strengths

Page 156-157 – The Bottle House “Strength comes in different forms, Stefan,” Chaplain Miller said gently. “As you know, there is physical strength. Having the power to put one foot in front of the other sometimes requires more strength than a football player needs on the field.” Chaplain Miller paused a moment to let his

Seeing Isn’t Always Believing

866) As I sat in Sunday school or vacation Bible school growing up, I’d listen to the stories of great men and women of God who appear within the pages of The Book. I’d sometimes say to myself, Well, no wonder they were followers of God; they saw great things and miracles that we don’t

When You Need It; Not Before

865) I like to be prepared. If I know that I have a deadline for writing, I expect that and build it into my schedule. If I know that I have a difficult doctors appointment, I prepare mentally, physically and emotionally, as best as I can. I like to be prepared–no surprises. The difficulty of

The Hard Simplicity of Faith

864) I was brought up in a Christian home, and I’m very grateful for this. Because of it, there are spiritual things that I have wrestled with for many years, and what faith is, is one of them. Many people have made the idea of faith existential; faith is what you make of it. You

No Shadows

Page 155 – The Bottle House “It’s interesting you speak of a shadow following you. We know, of course, that shadows are made by light.” Chaplain Miller stood up and moved over to one of his desk lamps. He removed the shade, then picked up the lamp by its base and moved around his desk

How’s Your Health?

863) As I grow older, the questions we ask now are often health-related. How did you sleep? How’s your back? What’s your sugar levels? In knowing that we may have some medical issues that should be checked out, we make an appointment with the doctor and work toward healing. In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus reminds the
