Cartoon of two boys on a seesaw. One says, “Thanks for coming. You wouldn’t believe how much a seesaw stinks with just one person.”
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: Ecclesiastes 4:9
I watched with a mix of humor, pride and frustration when each of my kids were old enough to say, “No! I do it myself!”
We all want to be independent. I remember milestones in my life like my first day at school, first time I could tie my shoe and the first time I got to stay home without an adult. We all love to be self-sufficient.
But there are certain things that just aren’t as fun alone. Dinner is much more fun when I am with my family. Decorating for Christmas is more fun when everyone joins in. And it’s hard to love my neighbor if I keep to myself.
This week, I’m going to look for ways to help someone and to be bold enough to ask for help when I need it. How about you?
