I have gotten the privilege to travel across UA the past few weeks, and although it’s not much I wanted to share with you all what it is that I have been observing. There is a blog I wrote back in 2020 that touches on a similar topic, but in these past two weeks specifically I have been reminded of how important it is to have compassion, patience, and empathy. In this type of environment it is easy to become insensitive to the state of yourself and others. It’s too easy to become impatient and aggressive with the things that seem petty or seem to lack importance entirely. I wanted to pass this simple reminder on to you. Be patient because it is a fruit of the spirit and it leads to life; it opens your eyes. Remember to show empathy and compassion because even the Lord has compassion on the most wicked of people; it would be foolish to pass up an opportunity to live out the teachings of Jesus in this way.
Again, I know this is short, so I hope to post another soon!
