A is for Agape
A Child’s Empathy

That’s true empathy, to suffer alongside someone and still want to comfort them. I need a lesson in this. I need to remember this sweet example of kindness the next time I feel the need to judge or condemn someone. I need to remember that we’re all on this great big ball of blue together. We need to look at our neighbor’s trembling chin and smile through our own pain and say, “I know it’s cold.”
