You don’t realize how much you use both your hands until only one works. I know first-hand (no pun intended).
Even something as basic
as getting dressed involves two hands.
Thanks to YouTube, I’ve learned how to do that now. Turns out there are
multiple uses for a broomstick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfsZ34OEetA
I can’t drive, cook, or water the garden until my wrist heals, which
will take several weeks. I love my plants and flowers so I really hate that.
Thankfully, I have
several friends and family members helping me. One of my
neighbors brought dinner over the other night.
She also volunteered to drive when we went to the theater last week. Another
friend has offered me a ride to church.
My parents have been shopping for me, as well
as watering my plants and cleaning around the house.
Pushing a vacuum with
only one hand just doesn’t work. And
forget about dragging a hose.
I don’t like having to depend on other people, but I’m glad it’s
temporary. Letting people help me also gives them the blessing to someone.
I truly am blessed to have such loving, supportive family and friends. Keeping this perspective helps a lot.
How have you been blessed
by someone’s generosity when you needed it?
Or perhaps you’ve had the privilege of helping someone else. Share it here so we can all benefit from
it.

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry to read this, Ellen. Praying you heal quickly and completely. Thankful for those God has placed around you. :)
Thanks Cathy. I'll be okay. It could've been a lot worse and I'm quite blessed to have people who are willing to do whatever I need.
