I have a dear friend. She and her husband use to pastor our church years ago. We've kept touch over the years on FB. Last night I saw posts of people saying they were praying for her. I PMed her and said I'd be praying and hoped all was ok. She said things weren't ok and never would be again. That worried me but she didn't seem to want to talk.So I said I'd pray for her.
Later in the evening just before bed I saw her post on a FB what had happened. She thought the page was private but she revealed her husband had cheated on her.I felt devastated for her.I could not sleep all night. I just talked to her this morning and she admitted that he had cheated on her with his 39 yr old worship leader. They've been married 35 years,have 6 grandchildren. I mean,he's in his 50s.I just didn't know what to say. He was my pastor,I never sensed he had an issue like that and I pick up on that pretty quickly. I told her it was his issue and had nothing to do with her. But she's not buying that,of course. She said she feels she looks old and I cut her off and said this was his issue and he needs to get help. They've had to step down from a church they just took. I told her I'd pray.But she is such a sensitive person and I know she is taking this to heart. Its just hard to know what to say,they were my pastors.I told her I was there to talk or just to pray if she needed that. Any advice on what I could say to help her? Im just really in shock. And I cannot imagine what she is feeling. Heartbroken for her.
