comfort (verb)

~ strengthen by being with ...

In shattered moments, be quiet ...

{Love = preparing, provision, proof, PRESENCE}

Presence is all the Love they need. Let them journey through the pain and grief by being with them. You are bearing witness to their journey and feelings. You honor and value their very being with presence.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of Compassion and the God of All Comfort,
who 'strengthens by being with' us in all of our troubles,
so that we can 'strengthen by being with' those in any trouble
with the 'strength by being with' we ourselves have received from God.
II Cor 1:3-4


The comfort we recieve allows us to overflow another's life with this God-Given Comfort.

ie: {what worked for one who received comfort}
* silly cartoons to get their mind off the pain
* you know the christmas chains? a prayer chain was made with people praying 24 hrs a day and given .... was comfort when they couldn't pray anymore they knew they where covered
* game times

word sleuth: aerate
