Have you been at a difficult place in your life and a friend has come alongside with what seemed like the perfect advice, yet it still seemed to fall flat? No one likes to hear what should have happened or even what they should have done. Sometimes instead of the quick fix, we just need to sit with them in understanding. All of us have those times, but few have those kind of safe people who don’t have words of flat advice. Especially in times when we are experiencing loss or saddness, listening is the best remedy! When you are tempted to speak up with a needy word, resist the temptation. Your friends will be glad you did.
