Crying With Those Who Cry
"Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep."Romans 12:15
Reflection
Sometimes the best way to help is not advice — it is just sitting beside someone. Being there says more than any words.
Prayer
Jesus, teach me to simply be present for people. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What do you do when a friend is sad?
- Why can sitting beside someone help more than advice?
- Who do you like to be with when you're happy?
5-minute activity
Practice being there: one person tells about a sad moment while the other just listens, without fixing it. Then switch. Talk about how it felt to be heard. Read Romans 12:15.
