When you hear of someone losing their job or being stricken by illness, do you start a gossip chain or a prayer chain? The best way to help them is to pray for them, not talk about them. Its easy to talk about why it happened and what should be done from our feeble viewpoints. Oh but little do we know about the big picture. Petitioning the burdens of others to God is the best use of your mouth.
It's true. ANd sometimes when I hear the rest of the story, I realize that they have handled things a lot better than I would have. We really don't know what's going on. Only God does. And I forget that. A lot.
