Do you ever say this?
Do you ever get a call?
Do people/friends ever say this to you?
Do you ever call them if you need anything?
Just wondering

But there's one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things -- trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones.

It's one of those platitudes - I say it sometimes but probably don't mean it. I have rarely taken anyone up on their offer - because I have assumed they didn't really mean it.
Same vein - "How are you doing?" People rarely really want to know.
Yeah, a platitutde. I say it and I really, really mean it. And hope the folks receiving would take me up on my offer but I never would venture to call on someone who offered the same. It has alot to do with my pride and stubbornness - believing I can and should be able to do it on my own. But I also have pride believing others WANT MY help. I'm a mess!
A small adjustment to the expression makes it much easier to accept, I think... asking for a response while you are still face to face:
"Is there anything you need? What can I do to help?"
