Silence That Heals
"A time to keep silence, and a time to speak."Ecclesiastes 3:7
Reflection
Sometimes the best way to help someone at home is just to sit beside them saying nothing. Presence speaks louder than advice.
Prayer
Lord, teach me when to speak and when to be quiet. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- When is it better to stay quiet?
- How can just being there help?
- When did someone's presence help you?
5-minute activity
Practice two quiet minutes: sit side by side, holding hands, saying nothing. Afterwards, talk about how it felt and when someone at home might need that. Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-7.
