I feel so powerless

Saturday I received an email from one of my teachers.   She told me her family had been in a terrible car accident.  Her husband has a broken arm, their daughter is okay but their son took the brunt.   He has many broken bones in his face, has a concussion and faces many surgeries for his face.   My heart literally dropped.  

I spent all day thinking of this beautiful family and the challenges they now face.   All I want to do is provide something to make their life a little easier.  But what, but how.   I mentioned them to all of our classes this weekend and asked all of them to pray for them.   But still I feel powerless to help.  

A bit of me is seeing the other side of all those amazing people who have offered us help.   At times I am too proud to accept.   At times I just don’t even know what to ask for help with.    It is good to be on the other side and realize the offers of help come with so much love
