HELPLESSNESS....

Helplessness:

unable to help oneself; weak or dependent; deprived of strength or power; powerless, incapacitated.

It is often that I truly feel helpless, but I did this last week. We had just finished up Family Home Evening when we saw one of Grandpa's trucks pull up in the driveway. Oh, good I thought we can share our treat with them.....When my mother came bursting in through the door yelling that the house was on fire....We looked at her we looked at each other and then started to move.....One of my favorite things is that one of the kids yelled should we put out our fire(meaning the fire we had in the fireplace) 😆 .....we got down to their house....and there it was the feeling of complete helplessness.....there was nothing to be done but to stand there and make phone calls.....Ryan my son suggested that I call my sisters that live in the states but I said to him "What is the point, there is nothing they can do!".......But then my darling neighbor who was there crying and comforting us....Said something that stopped me in my tracks, "They could pray," and suddenly the dark and looming fire and the helplessness dissipated.
