Words to Treasure
“I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
Genesis 2:18
Trish sat on the grassy hill overlooking the horses grazing in the pasture below. Every day she came out to this spot to watch them. She was working hard to save up to buy a horse of her own. She was doing odd jobs and helping her sister babysit, but saving money was taking a long time. It felt like she was never going to have enough.
Trish looked up to see her grandfather smiling down at her. “Tell you what. You save for the horse, and I’ll buy the saddle and all the gear. What do you think?”
“Really?” Trish hugged him tightly.
God puts people in our lives to help and encourage us when we need it. Just like Trish’s grandfather knew she needed something special to pick up her spirits. There are people in your life who want to give you a helping hand or an encouraging word. Your family, friends, pastors, coaches, and teachers are there when you need them. Just wait and see.
