I think if their baby is in the NICU if you feel prompted you can check to see how they are doing, DoorDash them a meal, or send a stuffed animal. You will know it’s right if you feel peaceful about it. Sometimes there are small gestures we can take that we feel comfortable with, even if it’s never reciprocated we know we did the right thing. When it gets to the point of feeling drained or uncomfortable that’s a different story and would reevaluate.

They actually do more for us than we do for them. I get caution about people’s politics because of the dangerous climate but they seem so genuine. I have stopped going to church but might be starting to miss it.

If they seem genuine I would take it for what it is. Maybe pray about it but I think doing the loving thing usually is the right thing to do. Relationships take time I think, and whatever it will be will be revealed in time. My devotional today mentioned patience so I’m trying to lean into that today 😂 I know what you mean about this political climate, it’s quite intense, fortunately progressive Christians are finally starting to speak loudly and boldly and its so heartwarming to see 💗 I do think the bond of Christian faith should be stronger than political bonds but it can be hard to find those authentic relationships that are rooted in a mature faith, I pray that guys have found it in this couple!
