When someone shouts HELP do you respond? Thought4The Week from Peter Roper

	 When someone shouts HELP do you respond? Thought4The Week from Peter Roper

I love the picture above.

I have seen it on many a mother’s face with young children and the ultimate challenge, a puppy!!!

There are times in life when we really need a helping hand.

Last week I wrote about things that I do to help keep me going in the face of challenges – I did mention chocolate, didn’t I?

However, recently I noticed on one of the forums that I am a member of, a post asking for help from a very well-respected individual that simply has seen their business drop off a cliff in these challenging times.

The most notable thing was they had the courage to let people know and ask for help.

Sometimes we just need to wave a flag and say “I’m in the brown stuff and I need a hand to get myself out of it…”

I’m pleased to say there were a myriad of suggestions and offers to assist and I’m very hopeful they will turn a corner.

The key here is to offer to help and with sincerity.

How can you help if you offer to lend a hand?

What practical steps could you take to assist someone in need?

There is an old saying that in giving we receive.

Why not give it a try as you never know where it might lead and more to the point why not?

Until the next time.
