Day Twelve Revisited:
I had the ‘opportunity’ to help someone today. I put the term opportunity in quotes because when the assistance was requested I was far from thrilled to help. I even went so far as to think, “Why can’t this guy figure it out on his own?”
Shameful.
The time it took was minimal, the effort required was even less. And yet, the moments leading up to it I found myself dreading the commitment I had reluctantly made.
Today I learned that I was mega lame today.
Today I learned that I should not offer to help if I’m going to do so with a hard heart.
Today I learned that I should always offer to help.
Today my hard heart taught me that I need to turn on the sprinklers, that I need to soften the soil surrounding the sanguine organ planted in the middle of my chest.
Today I learned that helping is the hose that will likely get the job done....
