A helping hand

A helping hand

The weather has turned hot. I’m not complaining! Not after such a long, cold winter, but my pup is feeling the heat. We were on our way home one morning and all of a sudden I noticed he wasn’t at my side. I looked back and there he was walking slowly, head down.

“You can do it Dudley” I called back to him, “keep going,” I said as encouraging as I could be. That was all he needed. He picked up speed and was soon out in front.

As we journey, not just the heat can get to us. Life has a way of hitting us with difficulties and sometimes the weight is hard to handle. We might need a helping hand, or maybe just a word of encouragement. Wherever we go it is good to remember that we can make a difference if we think about others.
