A heart of compassion

Our Daily Bread 
I am a tender-hearted old bear, but that is not the same thing as having a heart of compassion. A heart of compassion is not only accessible to the cares of others but it spurs you to action. It requires you to DO something. 

I pray we all have that kind of heart!

Psalm Sunday
I remembered some of the songs of ascents when traveling this weekend!

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

Unless the Lord builds the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
    for he grants sleep to[a]those he loves.

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents in court.
