The Right Signal

Read: Matthew 14:14-21

When Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them. —Matthew 14:14

Bible In One Year: Ecclesiastes 10-12; Galatians 1

---

It was a tragic mistake. On July 3, 1988, the guided-missile cruiser USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner with 290 souls aboard. All were lost. The ship's captain mistakenly thought they were under attack by an F-14 Iranian fighter.

Public opinion polls showed that most Americans opposed paying compensation to the victims' families. The cruel treatment of American hostages in Iran was still fresh in many minds. But President Reagan approved compensation. Asked by reporters if such payment would send the wrong signal, he replied, "I don't ever find compassion a bad precedent."

The principle of revenge is so much simpler to practice. Yet compassion is Christ's way—a deep caring for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the whole person. It reveals the heart of God for sinful people—for you and for me.

The feeding of the 5,000 was a miracle born out of compassion. Jesus was moved by the physical and spiritual needs of the people (Matthew 14:14; Mark 6:34). He was not content just to teach them and then send them on their way.

As Christians, we must look at the whole person through the eyes of Jesus. Being moved by compassion always sends the right signal. —Dennis De Haan

Give me a heart sympathetic and tender,
Jesus, like Thine, Jesus, like Thine;
Touched by the needs that are surging around me,
And filled with compassion divine. —Anon.

Compassion is love in action.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE :

Two rabbits were being chased by a pack of wolves. The wolves chased the rabbits into a thicket. After a few minutes, one rabbit turned to the other and said,

"Well, do you want to make a run for it or stay here a few days and out number them?"

Good morning to everyone at the FR Canteen.

I had jury duty yesterday, so just trying to catch up on all the FR news.

[USVet6792Retired]

They let you on a jury? What did the guilty SOB do?

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Everyone. A special Good Morning to all of our AWESOME military and our allies. Thank you. Thank you.Thank you.

Good morning Chef Spotsy. Thank you for opening the doors to the Canteen this morning? I see we've been busy already. Everyone must really be hungry today. Let's see what are the choices today? Hmmmmmm, I prefer the bacon with my pancakes.

You notice, I hope, that my bacon is in a V sign? This is for VICTORY!

Now, I see some familiar faces this morning, so let me go make my rounds before it is time to get "down" (in the salt mines that is....LOL). And, until I get back I want everyone out there to join us and chow down.

Mornin', Beachy!

[Old Sarge]

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

And it's it's REALLY the start of autumn, today. So, Sarge jumped the starting gun, but Sarge makes no apologies - Sarge loves autumn!

Well, it's Pancake Wednesday again in the Canteen, and Sarge is ordering up Steak & Eggs, this morning - YBnormal, right?

Another day in the cubes, as we wait for the orders to come. Now, I can't help but wonder: how many FReepers have gone, or have returned, from The War? Our good FRiends, KJFine, Armyboy, and Txradioguy, have returned, of course. Hijinx is taking a break from his support career. Tonkin, Darkwing, Arrowhead, Jet Jag, USAF_TSGT, among others, are currently doing the deal. How many others, I wonder? We need a Roll Call, Folks, whatcha think?

Well, let's get the Personals squared away:

TONKIN/SPOTSY: Another Pancake Thread! And it's looking good already! Chocolate Espresso Pancakes, eh? Yummers...

TIAMAT: GET IN HERE!

KATHY: Hey, you only missed me by a few minutes last night, but there's always today...

TOMKOW: Haven't seen that Canteen group photo in a while! Who ARE all those people, anyway?

Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!

SARGE

DISCLAIMER: If you'd like to be on/off Sarge's Canteen Roll Call, FReepmail with details!
