Do you sometimes find it challenging to love the people in your family? Your spouse, roommate or the children that you’ve been blessed with are sometimes the most difficult to love. Simply allowing our closest family members to be their imperfect selves can be a challenge.

<p>A dear friend of mine has touched me twice in the last month with her compassion.  The first instance was when she told me that she’ll be teaching in a prison system next fall.  She’s a writer and college professor and she’s going to bring her gifts to people in prison who don’t get much love or attention from anyone.  How much will she be able to positively impact those troubled minds and souls with her gifts of caring and her passion for writing?  She will melt the hearts of people whose hearts have grown cold and bitter.</p>
<p>This same friend was visiting D.C. last week and from her hotel room she noticed a police woman walking from bench to bench waking up the street people to get them to move along so that the area would be more “presentable” for the businesses in the area.  Following the police woman was a little Asian woman who was handing out bottles of water, smiles and a warm “good morning” to each soul. Wow! “Humanity at it’s best”, said my friend.</p>
