When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us
Where do we find the will and the courage to continue?
...
For Janet, help came from her faith, but it also came from a squirrel
...
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 on, so can I"
"Once I broke my problems into small pieces, I was able to carry them
Just like those acorns, one at a time"
