As I reflect on this weekend I have learned that I have a heart issue. My heart issue is pride. I didn’t want my husband to stay with me when he drove me to the hospital, but he did. And I was happy about it. I’m the type of person who takes care of others and I don’t want others to take care of me. It’s the pride I know but more importantly, I’m missing out on a blessing. It’s a blessing to have someone want to stay with you to help you. I get home and my husband and daughter didn’t want me to do anything. It felt weird but I was too exhausted to even argue with them. They took really good care of me. I need to work on letting others take care of me. I thought that I had my pride in check but I don’t. I know what it means to want to help someone and I should let others do that for me. I’m a work in progress and I’m learning.

I struggle with the same thing. People often tell me to sit down because all I do is help others. Yes this reminder to slow yourself down enough to be cared for is a great reminder.

We are learning and the realisations along the way are so helpful. I have issues around pride too, I tend to be extremely independent but there are lessons in letting people love us the way they need to – it is selfish not to allow and accept love.
