Friday Tale - Comfort

Generally, your greatest service to someone in their time of trouble, sorrow or confusion, is your comfort.

Take the time to listen to their troubles and concerns with patience, kindness and empathy, but without offering unsolicited advice or suggestions.

Your kindly hand on their shoulder,
supportive hug, and patient listening
are often the greatest gifts you can offer. 

And brings you both comfort.
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will
be able to comfort those who are in any affliction
with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
~ 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
