When Ranell, our oldest daughter was a little over a year old, she fell on a bolt that went into her head right next to her eye. I rushed her to the doctor's office, where the doctor asked me, a young mother, to hold my daughter's head still while he proceeded to stitch her up. She, of course, was scared and upset. I tried my best to hold her but I was upset also. Afterwards I was furious with this doctor. I could not believe that he had required this of me. After a few years I came to realize that it was something I could handle. The Lord gives us challenges and trials, but nothing more than we can handle. Sometimes it takes hindsight for us to realize that we are really capable of handling all that the Lord gives us.
