Leann and Melissa dig into the definition of compassion and how it differs from sympathy.
Ponder Questions:
Can I sit with others in compassion?
Am I able to sit with someone and see them and validate their feelings?
How am I showing compassion?
Am I being loving and kind?
Am I showing others love?
Invitation:
Find ways to exercise more compassion this week.
