The Chinese symbol for crisis is danger and opportunity put next to each other. So when we are in a crisis there is a threat to our safety and an opportunity to grow.
I was thinking about crises in my family and which ones I have really grown from and why. The answer is using proper coping strategies. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I turned to my family and the Lord. As a family we knew that we could handle this. Many times we get a bit discouraged, but we still know that we will make it through because we are talking about it and facing the fact that this is really happening to our family. That has helped me get to know my family better. This isn't a crisis that is just affecting me, it affects my entire family.
