The joy of compassionate action and the joy of receiving it are evident in the following comments:
“The gratitude that I feel for my volunteers cannot be expressed in words. I found it very difficult to ask for help. Teaching me to receive with dignity is a part of Community for Compassion’s* work. I was thrilled to realize that the volunteer is receiving joy through the act of giving. In the circle of giving and receiving, both are blessed.” -Carolyn J., Care Recipient
“My own life has been so deeply blessed and enriched by sharing with those in need. I have discovered that my true life’s purpose is to be a channel for this very practical form of love and compassion, touching those around me who are in need. In this work, I nurture my soul.” -Lorrie Gray, Compassion Team member
Right now, in every community, there are people who desperately need us to take action and change the way communities relate to those among us who need help.
As Mahatma Gandi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world!”
*Communities for Compasssion is an organization that has provided practical care in Sedona, Arizona.
