Susan sends me a Starbucks gift card every single Monday for six months. Much is made about what to do when a friend is in crisis. What to say. What not to say. What to offer. What to send. What to text. The Monday Starbucks Ministry suggests it is not so much the thing as the love. The “I am still here” and “I care about your broken heart” and “I am thinking about you because weekends are full but Mondays are lonely.”
