31 Days of Compassion

"The meaning of compassion is to recognize the suffering of others, then take action to help."

I'm not sure where I saw this sentence, on some other blog probably, but it spoke to me and I think it's right on target. We see people in need, and we do something to help. That's what Compassion International is all about...seeing the need to help poverty-stricken children, and then stepping out in faith to do what God calls them to do.

Each year, for the past 5 or so years, someone in the blogging world has sponsored what they call "31 days of blogging". People blog about all kinds of things, and I've never participated. But this year, I want to do a "31 days of Compassion". Quite a few Compassion advocates are participating with this, and if I can make the time (and figure out how) to link everything up, I'll post links to the other blogs that I come across. In the meantime, I want to start with my own 31 Days of Compassion.

I'm working on a list of topics that I want to cover during the month of October, and I'll post that list soon. As I publish each post, I'll update the list to include a link to the actual post.

I pray that God will give me a clear sense of direction as to where He wants me to go with this. With my Compassion advocacy taking off now, I think this is a good next step.

Please join me in praying for the least of these, and spreading the word about Compassion.

In His peaceful presence,

Sharon
