When Trouble Falls Like Hailstones
Sometimes, out of the blue - it seems like the world has turned against you. Trouble falls on you like hailstones.
It’s important that you not lose your ability to think and to seek for good, wise answers. Don’t just freeze up and cower in panic. I’m thinking both physically and spiritually now - find shelter, try to determine where it is coming from, and how to bring it to a halt. It may take some humility to admit your walls or fences are down, or your roof has holes. Don’t get hung up on accepting or assigning blame. That might delay getting the help you need.
There is bound to be someone else who has experienced this too. Seek them out and find out what they would do. They may have learned the hard way, NOT to try this or that. Heed their warnings, try the best of their advice, and if that doesn’t work, go find some more solutions. Eventually you WILL fix it.
When it’s all done, you can sit back, analyze, and marvel at all that you’ve learned from that crisis.
