Sei wie das Eichhörnchen
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 from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But 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 one autumn day when she was at her lowest, she watched a 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 himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I. Once I ripped my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them - just like those acorns, one at a time.
Sehr tiefgründig, was Jack und Meg ihren Fans da mit auf den Weg geben. Mir gefällt’s. Bei dem Text handelt es sich übrigens um das Intro zum Song “Little Acorns” von The White Stripes. Meine Empfehlung: Einfach mal reinhören. Es lohnt sich.
