And other things not to say
If your faith had been stronger…
—Kathie Sheetz, That All May Worship, 1997
![Page 10: The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is…the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. —Mark Twain Language.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082518/56649ea15503460f94ba5198/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Think before you speak…“If your faith had been stronger, you would
have been healed long ago.”
“Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.”
“I’ll pray for you.”
“God must have had a reason for this tragedy happening to you and your family. But, God never gives us more than we can bear.”

And getting answers
Asking Questions
![Page 12: The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is…the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. —Mark Twain Language.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082518/56649ea15503460f94ba5198/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Consider this…
“Listen to the straight questions of children about my chair. They’re great! They want to know what happened to me, how fast I can go in the chair, how it works, what I can do with it, and whether I hurt. They’re into real questions! Adults at the church coffee hour clam up, look the other way, act embarrassed, and try to shoo the children away.”
—That All May Worship

Consider this…
“I’d much rather have someone deal with me directly, maybe even say the wrong thing, than to say nothing at all. Words I can handle. Being ignored is tough!”
