Especially when all you want to do is be the one helping others. I know what it's like too to be in that situation, so when people need help I agree it's important to help them as much as possible.brookeaprilrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131499788048865010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-87626050567200264502008-10-06T13:34:00.000-06:002008-10-06T13:34:00.000-06:00Thanks for the encouragement!

They simply want to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as others. Sympathy is NOT on top of their list of needs. It probably falls off the bottom for most of them. <BR/><BR/>It all goes back to the primary commandment - Love one another. If we can learn to love each other, friend and foe, able and disabled, as children of God - we will have kept the commandment.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work! I love your blog.Sharon Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888969860359917900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427337927242004482.post-33987574994691947612008-10-06T13:22:00.000-06:002008-10-06T13:22:00.000-06:00Another very thoughtful post...A few years ago, at...Another very thoughtful post...<BR/><BR/>A few years ago, at the beginning of the Seminary year, I broke my toe. I had to hobble around on those stupid crutches. Oh how I hated that!<BR/><BR/>I hated not being self-reliant. I certainly did not like being unable to be efficient. There were a few times, that my students would offer to help, and other times that they would just watch me as I "slowly" completed a task. <BR/><BR/>What I came to realize later, was that I needed to be much more humble, and ASK for the much needed help. I also know, that I could have been a much better teacher, if I would have insisted that my students, "served" their seminary teacher.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, we can be, so very stubborn:-)<BR/><BR/>tDMg<BR/>LdsNanaKathryn Skaggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244532266075120886noreply@blogger.com
