Living Through Our Pain

Although it's easy enough to say that we love someone, what happens when life gets a little rough. Can we feel the other person's pain when we ourselves are also going through a difficult time? When life throws us a curve, it's not that we put aside our own problems, but we willingly accept them for what they are. Whether they are consequences of our actions or lessons we must learn, doing what needs to be done and balancing ourselves quickly is necessary so that we can go on to help others. Living a compassionate life is not easy, for it comes out of chaos. Showing others that we care, takes a pure mind and heart. We all live with pain, it's finding a way to flow with it so that we become stronger in life and continue on our journey. Today, observe others and listen to their stories. You'll be surprised as to how many people are going through difficult times, yet they perservere because of their love for their family and friends. These are the few that go on to help others selflessly. Be one of these few. 
Sometimes we need a little levity in life...

(Although my kids fight with each other, like any other siblings, it warms my heart when they are going through a tough time and they comfort each other. We try hard as parents to teach compassion to our children, but we never know if we are successful until later. It's only when they are older, can we see how much they care for others.) Q, R, and S, I'm so proud of you all.
