When appropriate, light humor may break the ice and open the door for more serious conversation. Sometimes the person may be so grim that a little laughter may bring them out of their shell and is instrumental in the personal connection, just as an appropriate touch is. One other matter.

Nice to visit with a purpose and something to say that brings life and hope. Thought this website might also be something to reference when visiting the sick. "God's Words of Comfort & Healing" http://web.me.com/love101 There is lot's of scripture on prayer, healing, faith, love, trust, to read and turn into prayers. Often, I'll just read scripture after scripture,for thirty minutes or so while turning them into prayers. And we're both getting blessed. There's something about reading the Word out loud. Lot's of scripture "wall posters" to print out and cover the walls in God's Word. They cried to the Lord in their trouble... he sent His word and healed them. Psalm 107:20 Everything on the site is free to use and give away. Be blesse... Great check list.

The most important thing a visitor to the sick can do is listen. The reason for this is that it's not about you; it's about them, the sick ones you have visited and their chance to talk about it if they want to. ALWAYS pray before you go. Human wisdom isn't worth anything, but God's wisdom is worth everything. In the small amount of experinece I have had I agree with most of what is said in this article.
