We all have friends or know of people that are going through a hard time. As well meaning friends we often say, Just let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Call me any time. Sending Prayers & thoughts your way. Is that an easy way out? What if those people are too embarrassed to ask for your help, or dont want to be a burden or impose on your time. Most people, just want a friend to talk to or bounce ideas off when they are struggling. Most friends would rather go to a foodbank than to ask a friend or family member for help. I have lived on both sides of the equation. Sometimes we as concerned friends, need to just pick up the phone and ask simple Yes or No questions. Do you have food for you and your family? Better yet, stop by with a bag of essentials that are going to waste in your pantry. hat would you really want in their circumstances. Ask them if they would like company going to the foodbank if that is what is needed and drive them. Sometimes it is not so hard if you have someone to talk to. I guess my point is...kind gestures and words are nice. Asking the right questions can help you make a difference in their life.
