Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You want to know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!"

Ray DalioAnd yet I know I am too young, that we're too young, for me to live my life only as it relates to you.

But how can you now ask me to arrange my life around you?

The key is to ask and then listen honestly for a response.

Rush LimbaughSome of us are taught to ask for help. Some of us don't feel comfortable asking for help. Some of us will get into trouble because we don't want to share things with adults - maybe because we're used to getting in trouble. I have two daughters, and they're very different from each other.

But it's something I wish I had had when I was a child, that feeling of having someone I could ask for help.

Yes, 'weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.' Then, in the dawn of our increased faith and understanding, we arise and choose to wait upon the Lord, saying, 'Thy will be done.'

They say that it is not worth making a life-long commitment, making a definitive decision, โfor everโ, because we do not know what tomorrow will bring.
