If a Friend is in Trouble Don’t Annoy Him By Asking If There Is Anything You Can Do
“If a friend is in trouble don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.” – Edward Watson Howe
Think of how many times you have been called when you have said ‘If there is anything I can do, just call’. Probably never. But there is always something to do. It may not be material; you may not bake a cake or casserole. It may simply be making your friend smile with a card on their windshield while they are at work (make sure it isn’t going to rain). It might be tending to their garden or mowing their lawn. It might be calling friends or doing updates for them on facebook or twitter to let their friends know what is going on.
Find a way to love them and do it.
