A Facebook friend recently made a post that his grandmother passed away and, naturally, his FB friends were posting their condolences and such on his posting, including "thoughts" and "prayers" being with him and his family.
Other times when there's similar postings over people needing good wishes because they're going into surgery or suffering from some-sort-of problem people obviously do the same.
I often post "thoughts." Because I don't pray. I don't think saying things to a mythical being that may or may not exist is going to do anything but, then again, not that I think my thoughts of those in need are doing anything either.
I just think saying "thoughts" is more honest given that I don't pray so saying, "You have my prayers," is out-right lying.
What do you do in situations like this? Do you give those in need of them your thoughts or your prayers?
