When my mother died, I had several people ask if they could bring food or a meal. Being who I am, I said “no, you don’t need to do that….” I was not one to accept help even when it was offered.
I have a friend, Nancy, who called and said “I’ve made a batch of sloppy joes, have bought the buns and have made a potato casserole. You can put it in the freezer or use it when it works for you. When can I bring it over?” It was already prepared. She didn’t give me an opportunity to exercise my “I can handle it all” attitude. I felt God’s presence in that moment. It was indeed such a blessing.
It has caused me to call others and offer 2 or 3 things that I could do (to give them a choice) and insist I want to do it so they just need to pick one. It taught me a lesson...through Nancy, from God.
