But enough about
So to recap:
Not watching this
And nothing of consequence happened for the day. But it isn't a day I regret. I got to spend some time with my girlfriend (though not enough time in my opinion. But that's always the case). And work wasn't terrible like it could be but since hardly anyone came it was boring and lasted a tad longer than I would have liked. But what can you do?
Though one thing I was contemplating at work was how people cope who don't have God to rely on. This was brought to mind because one of my bosses son recently commited suicide. And they have no faith of any kind. How do you comfort them other than letting them know you're praying for their family? Does it mean anything to them other than the fact that they know someone cares enough to put time into thinking and interceding (as much as they believe you can intercede) on their behalf? If nothing else when we share Christ's love we plant seeds I think. We put thoughts in their mind to show them that maybe there is someone else out there who cares. Keep this in mind whenever you think your prayer may be in vain.

I think, especially in case where the victim of such a tragedy is not a believer, we need to remember to show our love in tangible ways. Jesus didn't spend all his time praying. He spent his life acting out his love. he fed the hungry, he clothed the naked. I imagine he would hug the hurting or be there in the way that would uniquely comfort that particular individual. Maybe pray to God and have him reveal the way that you can best show your love in a tangible way.
