That is what the world needs---that kind of empathy for a random stranger. God can really use your heart. I believe that is just what we should strive for. Also---we must have a lot in common, because my all-time favorite date took place at a water park! I love that you mixed grown-up romance with giddy kiddy fun.

Your compassion speaks volumes to them...it helps ease their burden. That verse that Katie posted above is so applicable - we can show Christ's love even by a simple smile or prayer for those strangers that are struggling. Lovely pictures Jen! "Funnel in a funnel"...that is a classic. Glad you two were able to get away! Can't wait to see you two...we miss you! Things are rough right now for many that we love.

I'm sorry to hear that I won't be seeing you at Logos, but that's so wonderful that you've found a place where you feel you can grow :-) Hope to see you sometime soon!

It breaks my heart because I'm so aware of how well I've hidden my pain, I wonder what everyone else is hiding. The first part of your post makes me think of the Brandon Heath song “Give me your eyes” especially verse 2:

“Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what’s underneath
Theres a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He’s out of work
He’s buying time
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?”

It breaks my heart because I’m so aware of how well I’ve hidden my pain, I wonder what everyone else is hiding.

That seems like such a lovely, lovely weekend. I too wonder about other's experiences and burdens. I suppose all we can really do is pray and be kind. Oh, love this post.
