DUMP YOUR POCKETS

… Someone I love comes along in pain and I start dumping my pockets, looking for the one thing I know that will help them.  But time and time again, the only thing they want is for me to open my heart like a sponge to them.  They want to be heard and held.

REFLECTION:

  • Is there someone you love in pain now?  Are you in search of something to help them?
  • How can you open your heart and just listen or hold them?
