My neighborhood
The other day I went to Wal-mart to buy a garage organizer. So off I went and bought one of those plastic Sterlite organizers. I thought it was going be be already put together, but when I looked on the side of the box it said it needed 2 hours. Yikes! So, I thought- I am going to do this systematically. I pulled out all of the pieces in the box, organized them according to the letters and began the 10 step process of putting them all together. I started the process and got to step number 5. When I got to step number 5 I put the pieces on backwards. Well, the two pieces interlocked and because of that one person could not pull them apart. So, hark out appeared my neighbor- and off I went to ask for his help. He was able to use a screwdriver and push it apart- well, his wife was summoning him back home and I still did not have it completely correct! So my other neighbor- who had told me in the past if I ever needed anything, to not hesitate to ask. So ask is what I did- and I just appreciate learning from other people and appreciate the helpfulness from other people. So over he came and I have to say I do enjoy working together as a team- as he helped me problem solve of how to get the two pieces apart as well as put them together. I felt horrible as not once, but two times he injured himself to the point of bleeding. He warned me he is a bleeder; but that it is cleansing. Interesting- as I saw Jesus in him- as he sacrifically helped me and helped me to the point of injuring himself (of course not intentionally)- because he cared.
