We Need Each Other

A couple of Sundays ago, Pastor Jay shared a story about a 3-year-old girl named Lori who wanted her mom to help her put on her pj's. Her mom said, "You know how to do it yourself." To which Lori replied, "People need each other even when they know how to do it themselves." It reminded me of when I was four or five years old, and it was time to get ready for bed. I wanted Mom to put my jammies on for me. She did, even though she was busy taking care of my younger siblings. I think I just wanted some tlc from Mom, and it was so good that she was there for me, even though I could have taken care of myself. She was being a good example of unselfishness, kindness, patience, humility, and mommy-love.
