cold...bitter cold, on such a difficult day for a friend. Many condolences offered."Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land."(Prov.31:23) Paul had a lot of relationships, many friends. It is hard to know how to be a friend in a time like this when you have no experience to draw o...n. I found this advice...
..."As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart."(Prov.25:20) God help us listen if an ear is needed..hug, cry, or laugh in remembering. Help us to allow grief into our presence, that we not seek to draw it out, but neither run from it. And God keep us from EVER making light of it. May we be the garments You use to bring warmth and comfort to a grieving heart.
