This is absolutely necessary for the health of us both. But try never to lose your capacity to ask for help and to accept gestures of kindness in your times of need. Across life you will pass through seasons when you can minister to others and seasons when you will have a need for someone to minister to you. Remember, there is nothing wrong with needing the support of another, that's why God made us family. Learning how and when to rely appropriately on others makes understanding our reliance upon God easier.
Children love to play.
For adults, life is too often a serious business with little or no time for play. A lot of us grew up with the notion that play is worthless, something you can't afford to do. But we like to think that Christ was playful, spontaneous, that He and His disciples dived into the water as they were walking beside the Sea of Galilee or the Jordan. All too soon your lives will be encumbered with the burdens of adult life. You can't possibly imagine now all the curves and twists and hurdles life will bring.
