Thought for the Day 2/17/2016

By Compassion we make others' misery
   our own, and so, by relieving them,
       we relieve ourselves also.

-Sir Thomas Browne 

When he went ashore he saw a great crowd,
   and he had compassion on them,
    because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
      And he began to teach them many things......
      The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
            because the LORD has anointed me
              to bring good news to the poor.

-Mark 6:34 and Isaiah 61:1
