Compassion at First Base

Viewers of Friday’s Rockies-Dodgers game saw a touching moment that had little to do with baseball. Jose Iglesias of the Rockies had just gotten a hit and, when he made it to first base, was overcome with emotion. Turns out, this was his first game since his father had passed away. The Dodgers first baseman, Freddie Freeman, understood Jose’s grief, gave him a hug, and consoled him. “I just tried to be there for him, be kind, and have compassion.”
“Whenever we shine our Light into another's life, it leaves a lasting radiance. It teaches how we can heal our world, that love and light are real. Light shared stirs up the embers of compassion, the greatness of Spirit that is everyone's true gift to this world.” – Roger Teel, This Life is Joy
Affirmative prayer: "Infinite Presence, I give full sway to the kindness, connection, and compassion that is the essence of our shared life. We are One. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
