The hill I climbed just minutes ago led me by the girls dorm. There was a girl sitting on the porch and I'm pretty sure she was wiping away tears. Immediately, I identified with her not even really knowing the cause of the tears. Its just a guess but they were probably tears of girl missing her family. I've cried those tears so many times before I know exactly how she feels and I just wish I had the words to comfort her. Perhaps its not words that I need but just the courage to offer comfort without words.
So true. Just a gentle hand around a shoulder often says more than words.
ReplyDeletePraying for you, as you have opportunities to comfort others.
