I was just sharing an opportunity the Lord gave me in an excited text message to a friend. In the text conversation I then added “if only I could keep doing this” since I can’t see how this can be . . . I got tripped up by the “but I can’t without” and “but if only I had some” and then I saw this quote from Helen Keller:
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
– Helen Keller –
Helen Keller saw clearly what I failed to focus on. Notice she didn’t say “together you can do so much.” She didn’t let the “something missing” from her life leave her sitting on the bench. I won’t either. I’m reminded of a prayer I said recently in which I cried out “but, Lord, what if I am not able to . . . ” and do you know what He said to me? He said “I Am.”
Oh mercy, this is a good word–thank you, thank you for sharing!!

The quote lifted me from a bit of “what am I gonna do” and knocked me back on His path. I’m glad it touched you too.
