Rubber Meets the Road:

  1. Keep a “Help List” Ready
    • Write a list in your phone:
      • bring a meal
      • run errands
      • sit with me
      • pray
      • text encouragement
      • help with laundry
    • When someone asks, send the list. No thinking required.
  2. Change Your Language
    • Instead of: “I’m sorry to ask…”
    • Say: “Thank you for helping me.”
    • You don’t owe an apology for being human.
  3. Let It Be Imperfect
    • They may:
      • bring the wrong food
      • show up late
      • say awkward things
    • Let it go. Love doesn’t have to be perfect.
