Knowing that she usually has a great time there, I asked her if something was said or done today that was bothering her.
"Yes, but you wouldn't understand."
Silence.
I offered, "Well...if it has anything to do with being a woman... or being a human...I probably would understand."
More silence.
"Does it have anything to do with guy-girl relationships?"
"Yes, but you wouldn't understand because you'd have to be me to know what I'm feeling."
"That's true, but there might be some way I can help, even if it's just giving you comfort."
Pause.
"Remember that if you ever want to talk about it, I'm available."
Silence.
Then she opened up to me, and we had a heart-to-heart conversation on the way home.
She's still a little down, but I hope with time and prayer, she gets through it. Isn't that how we all get through it?
"...for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22,23
