how to help
When someone you know is overwhelmed by life, confronted by obstacles that are a little too heavy to carry alone, it’s easy to feel unsure of how to respond. That’s the time to remember it’s not what you do, but that you do something. Often, we don’t realize that what may seem like a small gesture or an insignificant act to us can actually make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. This book offers practical ways on how to reach out to help someone and lend a hand. There are no perfect words, no perfect gestures. Simply reach out and touch someone’s heart. Be brave, be a little more generous, be kind.”
So goes the introduction for a little book called Do Good: 201 Ways to Lend a Hand. This is a sweet and often ingenious guide to helping us figure out ways in which we can help a loved one who needs support in some way. It got me thinking, when life’s difficulties come crashing over, what are the ways in which we can offer a little life raft for those who have always been there for us. I'd love to hear some ideas either that you've been given or recieved.
I'm so thankful for all the help I have recieved and the blessings I've had through given.

service
i am one, most like others, who would rather serve than be served. a missionary long ago told me, "you serve the ones you love." how true. that's what makes, on some days, it easy to cook and clean for our frantic household. that makes it easy to help your husband find his wallet, keys at 5am. and that has happened more than once. it's easier to help your 6 yr old find that polly pocket dress that polly must wear, or have the steady stream of care bear books read to your 3 yr old. i love serving my family. i don't do it well, or always in a good mood, but knowing that i love my family and their needs are mostly met is the best feeling at the end of the day.
