Smithsonian Sayings

“WOULD YOU LIKE A HAND?”

As I was carrying two large boxes down a flight of steps on the Covenant College campus the other day, a coed coming up the steps said, “Would you like a hand?” I resisted my first thought which was to say, “Yes, I really appreciate applause,” and then thanked her and turned down her offer. Then I started thinking – did she think I looked old? Did she think the load was too heavy for me? (I also resisted telling her the boxes were empty.) Did I look a little unsteady? Or was she just a refined, courteous, southern young lady? I chose to believe the latter. Then I also got to thinking how much better the world would be if we all asked someone else occasionally, “Would you like a hand?” Even if the offer is not accepted, the blessing is still there. –JTS
