When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue?
Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith.
For Janet, help came from her faith, but it also came from a squirrel.
_ Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father.
Then she [Bb] lost her job.
She had mounting money [Ab] problems.
But [G] Janet not only survived, she worked her way out of despondency, and now she says life is good again.
How could this happen?
She told me that late [A] one autumn day, when she was at her lowest,
[Ab] she watched a [G] squirrel storing up nuts for the winter.
One at a time, he would take them to the nest.
And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of [A] himself with a harsh winter coming on, so can [Ab] I.
[Eb] Once I broke my problems into small pieces, I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time.
