Yesterday I was talking with one of my colleagues at the school where I teach in the mornings. She is a young woman and does wonderful work with the children who have difficult lives. Her grandfather is elderly and in hospice care now. It is only a matter of days until he passes away.
As she was sharing with me, her eyes teared up. She apologized for it. I asked her to not apologize or feel she needs to hide her feelings. I shared with her that I understand what she is going through and if she ever needs a listening ear, just let me know.
We all need a safe space, safe friends, a safe place especially now during this pandemic. Everything is heightened now for our emotions, stress, etc. We need safe places to land.
Jesus is definitely a safe person for us to come to and confide in about what we are going through. He invites us to do so in Matthew 11:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
My hope is to continue to be a safe place, a safe person, for others as we continue to go through this pandemic. We all need connection with others. I love this song A Safe Place to Land. Please listen to it and think about if you can be a safe place.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

It is a great gift of kindness to listen to others when they need to share their feelings. It is a great compliment to win the trust of others.

Amen 🙏🏽 we all go through difficult moments and during these times, safe people and places stand in the gap for us and help us to keep our eyes on the Lord
So important that we stand in the gap for others

I’m thankful she has the opportunity to come talk with you if she wants and the fact you’re a Christian makes it better! Praying also that she’ll draw close to Him for comfort.
Great verse to use with this post!
Thank you for praying for her 🙂
This is a great reminder to show compassion toward others and be mindful of their feelings.
