CARE

How do we care for others if we do not really know them?
How do we care for others if we do not spend time with them?
How do we care for others if we do not show positive actions of care & concern?
People don't care what you know until they know that you care.

Care is about remembering them on their significant days.
Care is about visiting them when they or their family are sick.
Care is about supporting them when they hurt.
People don't care what you know until they know that you care.

It is crucial to demonstrate positive care rather than use caring words alone.
It is crucial to demonstrate positive care in order to get to know others.
It is crucial to demonstate positive care before trying to rebuke.
If not, rebuke will only be percieve as uncaring actions.

Help me Lord to be careful to care for others.
Help me Lord to positively care for others.
Help me Lord to show positive care before rebuke.
Help me Lord to love as Jesus loves.

Thank you Amelia for your care & concern. Yes. He had a heart attack last Wednesday. The doctor did an angiogram, ballooning and insert a stent into his blocked right artery in his heart. He was just discharged this morning. One month MC. Thank you for your prayers.
