173 – Feeling Compassion: The Good Samaritan and the Invisible Wounds of Adoption


Listen Later

“Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him.” ~Luke 10:33 NLT

Hi Neighbor,

Welcome to another unplugged episode of Anchors of Encouragement.

In our previous episodes, I began laying the foundation for my words this year, giving you breadcrumbs to a word jumble.

Here’s a hint: I’m going to reveal these words slowly. We’ll dive deep into their meanings by breaking them into acronyms, like a little puzzle – a tribute to my Mom who loved word jumbles.

Each episode will bring new insights and tools to help you navigate the year with faith and confidence. Don’t miss out on the journey!

Today’s word begins with the letter, “C.”

Oftentimes, the wounds in the adoption journey are not visible but they hurt nonetheless.

In this episode, let’s consider the story of the Good Samaritan and how to feel compassion and show mercy to adopted children and their parents. 

They need us to be neighbors who care deeply and offer support during their hardest times. 

Hope and Healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Tim
