I love quotes, this one hit home when I heard it!

I was watching E.R. last night(of all places) and I heard a very good quote/thought and just wanted to share it.

This little boy went up to his mom and asked her if she thought that he could lift up this huge rock. She told him YES, she thought that if he used all his STRENGTH that he would be able to lift the rock. He went over and tried and tried his hardest but couldn't. Then he went and told his mom that he couldn't do it. She went over and helped him, and together they lifted the rock. Then she told him that sometimes using all your strength means asking for help.

When I heard this it hit home, because over the last two years we have had times where we have had to ask for help. It hasn't been the easiest thing to do, but I am grateful to have been blessed by others and look forward to the wonderful opportunity of giving back some day.
