The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. - Psalm 121:7

I have been blessed with very good health. I have been strong, healthy and able to care for myself most of my days. I had a little surgery a few days ago that gave me a small taste of needing some help from others to get some ordinary things done. It was humbling to need help to pick up something I dropped. A bit of nagging pain and soreness reminded me of how blessed I've been. And I was ashamed when I realized I have often failed to show enough compassion for people I know who live with debilitating illness or injury. We can learn a lot of lessons when we need a little help.
