Friends share our pain and touch our wounds
with a gentle and tender hand.
- Henri Nouwen
Share your heart as deeply as you can reach.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving
and tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
- George Washington Carver
This is what the Lord asks of you: only this,
to act justly, to love tenderly,
and to walk humbly with your God.
- Micah 6:8
There never was any heart truly great and generous,
that was not also tender and compassionate.
- Robert Frost

I have a great love for the needy, lonely and poor. Every yr. I give to every organization I come across. They are simple inexpensive things that won't hurt me a bit. You're supposed to give until it hurts. Right now I have over 50 gifts ready for the elderly, and a bag of stuff for the domestic abuse children along with teenagers. It was so much fun making and buying stuff. I actually can't stand shopping, but there is something magical about shopping to put a smile on someone's face. The best part is you are anonymous.
