Today's devotional by Vicki Kemper was a good one. She writes about how it is difficult for many of us to deal with someone else's sadness or emotional distress and lists the following discussion questions. Have you ever felt unheard, or that others failed to acknowledge the validity of your emotions? How did you respond? Have there been times when you failed to respond lovingly to someone else's hurt? How could you do better next time?What can you do to make yourself, your family, your church, or other group a safe place for sharing vulnerable feelings.
