Wouldn’t you know!  Just when the snow and ice is here, my 4×4 Expedition decides to act up!  But, Dan Burman to the rescue!  At Loren’s memorial service he had sobbed and told me, “If there’s anything you ever need ~ you know I’ll help you out.”  In 20 months this is the first time I’ve needed his assistance with a vehicle.   Dan is a man of his word.

Loren was a man of his word.  If he told someone he’d do something for them he followed through. Granted, he was known to over-extend himself (over commit himself) but he’d follow through.  He believed in the “handshake rule”….man to man.

I feel greatly blessed.  For the Dan Burman’s.  The Marvin Lux’s.  It’s a rarity that I need their assistance but I feel great comfort knowing they’ll respond immediately since I am not a lady who “cries wolf”.

Even though I like to believe I am Miss Independent the truth is I am not. I wish I could be. Being alone is showing me how much I do know at the same time magnifying the areas where I have close to none or -0-  expertise.

Today my heart is full of comfort.  I am not stranded, even if I’m snowed in.  Sometimes I think God lets us need others.   And I’m learning to be OK with that.
