"...so did I tell you about my grandchildren and the science award my grandson won. Oh and did I tell you about my weekend? Let me tell you how great it was. I beat everyone at bingo and won a dollar except Dinah was upset because she thinks I cheat. "
My revelation for the day is that what's important to one person is important to me. I don't care how much it has nothing to do with me, I am interested because someone cared enough about me to share their joy with me. How many times do we find ourselves thinking, "Good Lord, why are you telling me about this? I seriously don't care." Shame on us. Make it your business to care. I think that sometimes we get so very caught up in our own very important lives that we don't consider the joys and concerns that others are experiencing. I believe our empathy of others is a huge leap of our own understanding of our personal spirituality and a perfect way to extend Christ's love to everyone around us. Wow! What a concept...Empathy as evangelism.
