I had a similar experience this Christmas. My siblings all have more money than I do right now and gave me incredibly generous gifts. I wish I could give more to them, but I also am grateful for how they want to help me and make me feel loved.

I think you're exactly right about having humility to receive. I remember in the last ward my wife and I lived in, my wife gave and gave and served and served, but was reluctant to ask for help for anything. I remember that she joked with me that it was the hectic craziness of getting ready to move that finally made her feel like she could ask and receive for help. And our friends were hugely helpful during that time. But it did take humility to receive, to admit we needed it. I hope your wife continues to recover, MCQ.
