We All Need a Little Help
By
Sandra Wilkins
Are you the type of person that doesn’t mind asking for help? I have to
admit, I’m not geared that way. I feel like I’m bothering someone, or
that I should know how to do something, or that it’s easier to do it
myself.
I’ve learned over the years to weigh each project and then decide if assistance
is needed. Painting the porch posts? That was an easy one to
accomplish on my own when I was ready to do it. I didn’t have to wait
around for someone to help. Bulldozing untamed land for a house
pad? Better let a professional handle that one. Spreading newly
dumped gravel for a driveway? That’s a tricky one. My dad’s tractor
wasn’t running, my uncle was out of town, and I hated to ask anyone else.
What a relief it was when my dad was able to repair his old tractor on one of
the hottest days this year and spread the gravel. Maybe any dad would do
it for his “baby girl”, but is sure is wonderful to not have to ask for aid
sometimes. It can arrive in unexpected ways—like when a friend listens to
you when you’re down, or your child does chores without complaining. It
can be simple things or big things—but we all need help once in a while.
