It is said that God or, as some prefer, Life does not give us more than we can handle. I think that is true. But I also think that is a truism: each of us consciously or unconsciously chooses what we will handle. Each of us is
the steward of our gifts - our present and potential powers. Each of us is constantly deciding whether and how to deal with life's challenges, losses and opportunities - personal growth, grief, family issues, workplace issues, economic and political issues, environmental care, war and peace, for examples – and how hard we are willing to work to make our contributions.
Fortunately, there is a power within each of us - the Holy Spirit, or call it what you will - which is always present to assist us. Especially when asked.
