A few weeks ago the pastor of Mansfield Bible Church, Greg Buckles, who happens to be my cousin’s husband and a man who truly has a real Shepherd’s heart, gave a message on how to comfort someone in their loss. His research for this message included talking to several people who have lost a loved one including his sister who was widowed just a year ago. It is the only message like it that I have ever heard and one that is so needed because most of us as Christians do not really know how to give comfort to others.
I encourage you to take the time to listen to his message on this link. Scroll the cursor over to 24:24 as Greg gets begins speaking on “Beyond Our Normal Strength”.
