I recently
needed some additional help with childcare.
Generally, I try to spread out my favor requests and felt that I had
asked too many friends lately for assistance.
As I thought about whom to ask, I decided that I would call one of my oldest
and dearest friends -- I don't always think to ask her because we don't live
close and our children are not the same ages.
I asked her if my son could stay at her house for a little while until I
could pick him up. "Of
course," she said and then asked, "Do you need me to pick anyone
up?"
I ended up
not needing her help, but I nonetheless felt the impact of her kindness -- the
willingness to do what I was asking and more, which immediately gave me the
incredible gift of peace of mind.
