A strange and
Interesting Bible Fact:
 |
| One of my listening friends. |
What do you
say when your friend is diagnosed with cancer or an incurable disease? Often
because we have no idea what to do or how to fix the situation, we offer
platitudes which leave us feeling foolish—our words don’t help. God’s Word
gives simple instructions for such situations. “A cheerful heart is good
medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17: 22 (niv). Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24 (niv). One thing you can do is be there
and when the words don’t come, listen.
Hi, Kat, This is good advice for any one trying to comfort a person with any terminal disease. Sending cards always perks up the caregiver.
