If someone you know is having a problem,,,,
Instead of telling them "God never gives you more than you can handle",,,
Ask, "What can I do to help".

I agree. Goose. Can you help with the $400 I just forked over to Lowe's for a washing machine to replace the one that konked out on me yesterday full of sheets & towels?

Ha! Good one.
Sadly, all of the golden eggs that goose has laid this year went into a resurfacing project of the driveway.

Years ago I was having Mother-In-Law problems and I was complaining to what I considered a friend of many years. She told me very much the same rote phrase. It seemed so Oprah-like, snooty and impersonal. It didn't set well with me. I wanted to slap her. I still remember that and the bad feelings it caused. I don't think I ever confided in that person again.
