Good post on CCEF Blog by Ed Welch

Ed Welch, over on the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation has a good post on how to relate with those who are suffering, specifically what not to say (this may one in a series of posts, I'm not sure). But apparently it is not useful to say 'If you need anything, give me a call.' I am guilty of using this line--perhaps I will think of something better to say. Even though the sentiment is good, the line is not helpful because either people don't know what they need, or will not call. Ed Welch suggests that it is almost a put-off.

Here is the link for his post: More of what not to say to those who are suffering.

EDIT: for those left wanting more, here is the previous article Ed Welch wrote: What not to say to those who are suffering.
