The face of Care.

What does care look like? Sometimes I think we inflate care beyond our own reach. What I mean is that we have made caring for someone an impossible task. What if care could be a simple text message? What if it could look like an intentional smile, a kind gesture, or a significant touch? What if care didn't have to be a commitment for life, to meet all the needs of a person, but a commitment to the moment; to notice.

That was how Jesus cared for many. It was the woman caught in adultery, the woman at the well, the crippled man lowered on a stretcher. Jesus did not say follow me to these men and women. He said "go and sin no more" to the woman caught in adultery, he said to the paralytic, "take up your mat and walk." Jesus did what he could
in the moment and that was caring.

At times caring is more, but, I imagine the world a pretty cool place to be if we each would just care in the moment. Look for ways to care as you do life and see if the journey isn't a little sweeter. I imagine it will be.
