A friend shared this – While I was sitting in my parked car on the street
one day, a young woman in the car ahead came over and asked me if I had a
hammer she could borrow. When I said no, she got one from the man in the
car in front of her. She then deftly proceeded to smash out the vent pane
on the driver’s side of her car. After returning the hammer, she opened her
door, took out the keys, and waved them at us with a triumphant grin.
As she drove away, the fellow who lent her the hammer came over to me,
spread his hands and said, ‘If only she had told me why she wanted the
hammer, I think I could have helped her. I’m a locksmith.’
We do tend to go through life hammering away at fragile and valuable things
we do not understand and cannot solve, when there is, more often than not,
help available to us for the asking. We break and hurt so much in ourselves
and in others when, if we would but ask, we could resolve the matter far
less painfully. Remember, an old friend of ours over 2000 years ago said:
‘Ask and it shall be given to you!’
