Brother, let me be your servant

Many of us are more than willing to help a friend in need. Yet sometimes there comes a time when, as hard as it may be that we need to let others help us.

Andy over at My Old RV survived a Texas hailstorm that delivered softball-sized stones for 10 minutes just a few days ago. Andy lives full time in his RV home which did not survive.

Just some of the hail damage to Andy's rig

Literally holes were blasted through the walls in dozens of places.
He really needs our help and just think about it folks, it can really go against the grain to humble oneself to ask for help. I know I would hate it.

But Francis of Assisi first penned the thought which "Blessed is the servant who loves his brother as much when he is sick and useless as when he is well and an be of service to him".

This was so eloquently written up by Richard Gillard, into a popular song
Brother, let me be your servant.
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
To let you be my servant, too.

Letting others help me was a hard lesson for me to learn but that's a story for another day!

Go read Andy's story. Maybe you can make a donation to help him get a home again.
