Sometimes it is the simplest touch—a hand on the shoulder or the back of the head—that makes us feel connected, cared about and secure.
How will you let someone know today that you are there for them?

I emailed a pen pal, will Skype with an old friend in about an hour, and spent time cuddling my dog.
One of the ways I show empathy to a particular friend is to engage in mutual conversations during travel to the fellowship and returning to his home after the services on Sundays. The reason? Because he is blind. He is such a clever, kind, caring person and it seems to me that he and his wife, who is also blind, want to be able to act and react to those of us who are sighted in equal intellectual and human thought exchanges. Rick and Carol are both highly educated, raised two sighted children, now have grandchildren and I find that taking time among the three of us is a gift to all of us. Once in a while, it’s a hug between us but more important in this case, I believe is the listening and conversing together.
