Do you have an attitude of compassion?

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A little boy didn’t respond to his parents when they called him. His speech wasn’t very clear either. It was hard to understand him. His parents couldn’t figure out what his problem was until they took him to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor who suggested tubes for his ears. Almost immediately, the little guy’s problems cleared up and his speech began improving.

All of this situation had quite an effect on his Dad. His Dad trained and coached business people all across the country. Typically when someone didn’t understand what he was trying to teach them, he became impatient, wondering, “Why can’t you get this?”

After his son’s situation, the Dad found himself more patient. He imagined that his son’s teachers and friends and family must have grown impatient when he didn’t come the first time when called, or do what he was asked to do, or say what he meant clearly. He wanted people to treat his son with compassion. So that’s what he started doing—treating others with compassion.

Amazing, isn’t it, how God can change your attitude via your perspective?
