Like you said no one knows you need it unless you ask and they would be upset if they found out they could have helped in any way. Glad you are better now though<br />xxxxVixbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048933411245780440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-24319015522535801322011-03-01T05:05:56.887-06:002011-03-01T05:05:56.887-06:00I think asking for help is one of the hardest thin...I think asking for help is one of the hardest things in the world to do.

If followers of Jesus aren't there for each other, why would "the world" want to join us? But that definitely takes some openness on each individuals part - like you said - if we don't say anything, how will anyone know what is going on with us?Andy from Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404124265012606418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-35193859722102848482011-02-25T16:30:35.664-06:002011-02-25T16:30:35.664-06:00February just seems to hit so hard with sickness! ...February just seems to hit so hard with sickness! I'm glad you're feeling better, and that you didn't have to make dinner last night. That is a burden lifted and I'm sure your friends were happy to provide. And I'm sure you would be the first to do the same for someone else!Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673883808842901302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-15018578720156439722011-02-25T16:05:09.154-06:002011-02-25T16:05:09.154-06:00Asking for help is something I still struggle with...Asking for help is something I still struggle with, I never want to be a burden, but then I think about the joy I receive when I help someone else.

Joel is going out of town for a conference today for 4 days and then again a week later for 4 days. I've asked for help and plan on sending an email similar to yours if I feel the need during that time. We rob others of the blessing when we refuse to humbly ask for help. I don't like when someone refuses when I just want to bless them, so I try to remember that and be a gracious recipient too.Megan Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363341080054436625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-85311791287455456152011-02-25T07:53:10.308-06:002011-02-25T07:53:10.308-06:00I'm so glad you had people to help you when yo...I'm so glad you had people to help you when you needed it. And you're right that they can't help if they don't know help is needed, even if they're completely willing to do so.<br /><br />Mostly, I'm glad to hear that you're all finally about done with this illness. It seems like you've all been sick forever and that's just no good.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774778021065181469.post-44650504569527644552011-02-25T07:50:16.403-06:002011-02-25T07:50:16.403-06:00I'm glad that you asked for and got the help y...I'm glad that you asked for and got the help you needed so you could focus on feeling better.
