We always think that as parents, we have to have all the answers. But what happens when you're at a loss for words?
We even think that we have to have the answers when it comes to being a good friend or an amazing spouse.

When you are at a loss for words, what happens with you?
Do you sit there and try to stumble and fumble your way through to make something up that sounds good, feels good, appears that you have it all under control?
You can't NOT have anything to say. And yes that was a double negative.
Sometimes being at a loss for words opens up a dialogue instead of having a conversation that's a monologue. It gives the other participant in the conversation an opportunity to stand up and to be strong.
Sometimes our children need that opportunity to stand up and be STRONG.
Sometimes you have a feeling that because somebody has lost someone that's close to them, someone who has experienced a tragic heartache, that you still have to have all the answers; all the right words to make things better.
But sometimes that's not enough.
And we have to be comfortable with having our words not be enough.
So when you're at a loss for words, what can you do?
Well, it's all about the PULP of the conversation!
The K.I.S.S. ~ PULP of the conversation!It's the meaty part of the conversation. The meaningful part too. M&Ms.
PULP: The presence to understand and listen to their perspective.Maybe it's simply a touch of the hand, a hug in the middle of the school day, a sweet note left in the lunchbox, or a simple smile. Maybe it's the text with a simple emoji.
When you're at a loss for words, maybe there's actually a divine reason; something greater than you having all the answers. Maybe it's simply just to be present, to understand, to listen to the person from their perspective.
If we're always doing the talking, feeling that we've got it all under control, and having all the right things to say, it stifles our growth personally and their growth too.
We think we have it all that sometimes we miss the God winks in our life. Those opportunities. The quiet that becomes the bomb!
Today, I encourage you to pull back the covers for just a moment, look into your life and see what opportunity God has for you in a simple conversation.
"If you're at a loss for words, maybe the answer is in the PULP!"
