"Compassion Is In The Eyes"
It was a bitter, cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago.
The old man's beard was glazed by winter's frost while he waited
for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body
became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind. He heard the
faint, steady rhythm of approaching hooves galloping along the
frozen path.
Anxiously, he watched as several horsemen rounded the bend. He let
the first one pass by without an effort to get his attention. Then
another passed by , and another. Finally, the last rider neared the
spot where the old man sat like a snow statue.
As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider's eye and said,
"Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?
There doesn't appear to be a passageway by foot."
Reining his horse, the rider replied, "Sure thing. Hop aboard."
Seeing the old man was unable to lift his half-frozen body from the
ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the
horse. The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but
to his destination, which was just a few miles away.
As they neared the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman's curiosity
caused him to inquire, "Sir, I notice that you let several other
riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I
came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I'm curious why,
on such a bitter winter night, you would wait and ask the last
rider. What if I had refused and left you there?"
The old man lowered himself slowly down from the horse, looked the
rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I've been around these
here parts for some time. I reckon I know people pretty good." The
old-timer continued, "I looked into the eyes of the other riders
and immediately saw there was no concern for my situation. It would
have been useless even to ask them for a ride.
But when I looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were
evident. I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would
welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need."
Those heartwarming comments touched the horseman deeply. "I'm most
grateful for what you have said," he told the old man. "May I never
get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs
of others with kindness and compassion." With that, Thomas
Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the
White House.

When I despair, I remember that all through history, the
way of truth and love has always won. There have been
tyrants and murderers and, for a time they can seem
invincible, but in the end, they always fall.
Think of this. Always"
