Help given and received ...

Early yesterday morning, I just hung around the house and did little things that are very important. I helped make up the beds, pick up, and swept the kitchen floor. Kathy boiled eggs and we had breakfast together as we talked over the work that we would be doing that day. Two of our grandchildren had spent the night so we got one of them who caught the school bus ready for school and the other one we carried to his day care.

When we are doing such it is helpful to remember,

Our help is in the name of the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

(Psalm 124:8).

For me, I hear these words in two ways ...

• the help we give is in the name of the Lord; and,
• the help we receive is in the name of the Lord.

In a real sense the Lord helps us in both ways.

Blessings on your day ...
