In every season of life, especially in times of confusion, fatigue, or solitude, there are helping hands reaching out to us, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. Recognizing them is not only a matter of gratitude, but also a way of rekindling hope. These hands may come in the form of a kind word, a shared silence, a stranger’s unexpected generosity, or a friend’s quiet presence. When we learn to pause and see these gestures not as coincidences but as signs of care, divine or human, we rediscover that we are never truly alone. Today, let us train our hearts to notice and receive these helping hands with humility and joy, and perhaps even become one for someone else.
