The phone rang at 9:00 pm, as soon as I heard Allan`s voice I knew the reason for this call. "I just want to let you know that Aunt Eloise passed away about a 1/2 and hour ago."
What can you say to someone that is struggling with grief and extreme pain, I`m sorry seems so inadequate! It was the best I had, as I fought to hold back tears.
"I just thought you needed to know", "thank you, I`m so sorry". We just didn`t know what to say to one another. I asked Allan if I could pray for him, " I wish you would". I paused briefly, to allow the Holy Spirit to lead me through just the right words that would bring Allan to a place of peace and comfort.
Tearfully, Allan thanked me.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
