Beyond Words -65

Are words the greatest form of expression ?
Often , there are other forms , such as simply being there , that matters even more. Some people have said to others , the one thing that meant the most was knowing that you are always there for me. Being there for someone is so vital , so meaningful.
The benefit of a bikur cholim visit is well known to assist in recovery , just being there matters most , well beyond words.
This helps us understand the Mishna in Avos 1:15 -
Greet & accept every person with a pleasant , thoughtful face.
The Mishna does not mention saying words at this point. Right before this we actually say , talk less & do more. Put the proper expression in your face & body language that is the key.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
