An old Beatles song has the lyric “I get by with a little help from my friends.” Though the contents of that song has nothing to do with my post today that one lyric certainly does.

Last night was a case in point of what I am writing about. I have had so much pain that driving is out of the question let alone trying to walk to a bus, so I took an Uber to go teach. My friend Luis gave me a ride home after I finished teaching my class.
Several doctor’s appointments, several tests and still no answer as to what is going on. Finally I will be tested for autoimmune as a possible cause. My pain has been such that I can barely walk at times.
But Jesus has blessed me with wonderful friends who have given me rides, helped me to go shopping, etc. So I am getting by with a little help from my friends.
At times I have felt the prayers of friends as the presence of Jesus has flooded my apartment giving me a spiritual and emotional boost to keep going.
So even though I have resigned myself to needing to use the walker again, I know Jesus will help me through my friends and hopefully one day soon I will have the answer and treatment to recover. Until then my ministry and teaching will continue with help from my friends.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
