Spiritual Slap in the Head

So today in RS, the teacher gave this amazing object lesson with rocks, and carrying around so much more than she need. She had a sister come up, put on a backpack, stuff a buncha rocks in it, THEN carry a basket with even more rocks. She then had the sister walk all over carrying these rocks. It was a wonderful object lesson, but not the lesson I needed to learn today. The sister with the rock's final task was to go out one door, down the hall, then back into the other door. 

As she went out the first door, without hesitation, a sister by me, Becky, older and quieter, but always has a spark in her eye, gets up and heads for the door to open it for the rock-burdened sister. Our teacher, said, "No, no, no, Becky! She HAS to do it ALONE!" (after all, it was just a fun object lesson)

Without slowing down, stopping, or even turning back, Becky says very quietly, "No one has to do ANYTHING alone," and opens the door. There were a few giggles, and the lesson got back on track.

But for me, it could have ended right there. Wow. What a powerful thing to experience. No one has to do anything alone. Period. Nothing else really needs to be said, except that in ten seconds I received the spiritual slap in the head that I had been needing for a very long time.
