Compassion

This past Sunday in Sacrament Meeting, my friend Kris, spoke about compassion.  Compassion is something I've heard about for all my life....but something she said helped me look at compassion in a different way. 

"Compassion," she said, "Is as simple as noticing."

Doesn't that make it sound easier?  Feel easier?  Noticing the young mother with 2 upset children, and letting her go before you in the check-out line.  Noticing that someone is looking a little down, or has pain in their eyes....

Is compassion as easy as noticing others, and breaking out of our own little bubble for a bit?  I believe it can be.  Thanks Kris, for enlightening me and helping to realize what I need to do!
