So much wisdom in one little question …

My friend Sarah Joy just OOZES wisdom. I love interacting with her because I’m always encouraged AND I learn stuff too.

Recently she made a passing comment in an email that I don’t think she’d mind me sharing (let me know if you do, Sarah Joy! 🙂 ) …

Reflecting on the HOORAY-ness aspect of my touching yeast (she was the friend who emailed me the pretzel recipe), she mentioned how she is learning more and more to say, instead of “I don’t know how to do that!” … “Can you teach me?”

She said it’s a great way to start friendships with older women in the church who are (in her words), “amazingly talented yet often content to sit on the sidelines. Even if I get the project completely wrong, the time we spent together is life-changing.”

So much wisdom (and humility! wisdom is humble!) in one little question:

“Would you please teach me how to do that? I would love to learn from you.”

Thanks, Sarah Joy!

And lovies and hugs to all of your wonderful children too!!

Yours,
Tara B.
