wisdom to share with her but I think the fact that I dropped everything to give her a shoulder on which to cry and two ears with which to listen was what she needed right then at that low moment on that day.
We all need someone to listen, to not judge, to be a safe harbor in whatever storms we encounter. There are people in this world who have no one who is able to be there, let alone even wants to listen. When you give this gift to another human being, it not only helps a wounded soul, but it can help you...make you feel as if you are giving something valuable that is truly needed.
When someone opens their heart to you, someone who you know is a good, generous, loving person, and who you know loves you unconditionally, accept their pain, acknowledge their wounds, and give them the only thing they need at that time, your presence, your understanding, and your love.
Be this person to someone...it may change a life.
