You help me,

I will help you!  Help comes in many forms. Sometimes, helping is not helping.  Yesterday, a friend and I visited our elderly man in the afternoon.  It was a pleasant visit, as always, and when we were about to leave, (he walks us to the door to say good bye), my friend tried to help him get up out of his chair.  This was a kind gesture, but, I want our friend to be as strong as he can, and he can get up on his own.  I wonder how many times we help someone when they don't need it!  I am a strong advocate of helping when it is necessary, but everyone needs to do what they are able, too!  Make a ripple, check it out, see what happens.
