COT:
Man this has been a crazy week at the Bailey household. I imagine it was a little crazy for all of us. I was originally going to talk about the Presidential election 🗳️ but decided to talk about something different. Although the two things I want to focus on could probably be tied to that as well.
My wife signed up for the Indy race back in February and we were supposed to be leaving later this morning and head to Indiana. We were going out for dinner and then taking it back to the hotel. The plan was for her to wake up and run her marathon.
Plans have changed. My daughter broke her arm Wednesday and has surgery scheduled at 11 AM this morning.
So what I would like to talk about is sacrifice and compassion.
My wife has been training her butt off for months. Waking up early on Saturdays or Sundays to get in long runs to prepare for this race. We thought we were taking my daughter to get a cast yesterday and that’s when we found out she would require surgery. I was trying to make a way for it to work so that my wife could go ahead and run her race, like staying back with Rebecca while she went to Indiana. She couldn’t bring herself to do it because she knew she wouldn’t be focused she knew she would be worried about my daughter. that’s both sacrifice and compassion.
Doc McStuffins AKA Dr Keith Gray spoke at my church a couple of weeks back and he defined compassion.
Compassion is made up of these 3 things:
Seeing others with empathy
Listening without distraction
Bold & Sacrificial action
“I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.”
“Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
Psalms 116:1-2
