[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound very judgmental. Offering to pray for someone absolutely IS doing something. Often when I pray for someone, the very act of spending time thinking about them leads me to action. When we quiet our minds in prayer and meditation, answers to problems are often revealed. Prayer/meditation can bring clarity and show us the best ways to help.

Be careful with that better-than-everyone attitude. It makes me question your real motives for helping. [/quote]

+1.  So well said.[/quote]

Another +1. And as others have said, you have no idea a.) what others are doing/offering to do that isn't visible on social media; and b.) what's going on in other people's lives that they may not be able to help.

For all you know, someone did bring a meal, offer to babysit her child, and signed up on the bone marrow registry, they just didn't make any of that public information.  And it may have been someone who didn't reply at all or who said "you're in my prayers" or "sending good thoughts".  You just don't know.  Assume good intent and worry about you instead.  [/quote]
