Lessons from Job - Chapter 2

 Lessons from the book of Job...

Chapter 2 - Job's friends sat silently with him for 7 days and 7 nights (vs 13)

- Job had just lost his children and all that he owned and now his health was deteriorating.  He was in excruciating pain. His friends came when they heard the news and sat with him...silently.  

- Sometimes the grief, shock, and sorrow is so overwhelming that just your presence and silence is what helps most.

- After my first husband passed away,  I had one friend who was honest and said, " I don't know what to say, but I care." Words can fall short on the ears of those who are facing such intense grief. Knowing someone cares can bring more comfort than words. Being present.  Being with someone through whatever their facing.  Because sometimes,  there are no words that will comfort.
