Daily Prompt: Helping Hand

by michelle w. on May 19, 2013

Tell us about the most surprising helping hand you’ve ever received.

Photographers, show us HANDS.

Thanks for the great idea, juliemumonwheels!

The first thing that came to mind would have been a reblog of  https://layedbacklife.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/trina-had-company-today/ where I had a surprise visit and help picking apples where I made some desserts and apple sauce later that we all enjoyed.

helping hands

I have had a house guest this weekend.  She has helped me with laundry, dishes and vacuuming.  Without my asking.  It has been helping hands that have been wonderful.  She may be only 16 but she does have a good head on her shoulders.  Not that she always uses it, like most 16 year olds, she does get grounded.  She has good parents who care.  That is why.  When she starts to take a road that perhaps will lead her to an obvious path that an adult can see is not a good one, her parents are aware and stop it prior to any complications.

She really does not realize how lucky she is right now, she thinks she does.  In time, she will slowly learn that she was even more luckier than she could have ever imagined.

She is an asset at home when she wants to be I am sure.  There are chores for each of the children.  They may not like their chores, yet when they get older and leave for college and are on their own and know how to do the skills that they had to do as children, they will look back.

Then will be the time that they are glad that they grew up as helping hands.
