As most of you know, families aren't always going to be peaches and cream. There are going to be things that upset a family member. In class we've been talking about the definition of a crisis, and many other things. But I want to talk about this first. Many people seem to think that a crisis is always something that's crazy and impossible to make better. But a crisis can be something as small as a family member breaking his/her leg
There are many ways that we can handle a crisis whether it be something as mild as a broken leg or something like somebody breaking their leg. The first thing we need to ask ourselves is "will my reaction to this problem make the situation better or worse? Things like this are definitely situations that we need to keep under control
One big reason for families breaking apart is because they don't handle the situation in a way that will pull them closer. One important thing we should also remember while going through a crisis is that turning to our Heavenly Father is never a bad idea. He is always going to be there for us no matter what. He loves us, and will always be there for us.
The second thing I would like to talk about is stress. We are definitely going to have problems that cause us to stress out. It could be really anything that causes us to stress. A lot of people seem to think that stress is a bad thing. But what I found to be true is that stress is actually a good thing to have sometimes. Of course not always but if we don't have stress in our lives, how do we manage to get better at the things that we do stress over.
An example I have of this, is being in college. There are five classes that I have to make sure I keep my grades up in, and it is so stressful sometimes. But if I didn't stress out about these things, how would I be able to keep or get my grades up. Another example, for a family situation would be when a couple is fighting. If the spouse isn't worried about what his/her spouse is going to do, how would that spouse be able to fix what he/she did wrong if he/she isn't worried about what the other person thinks or feels? Stress can be a good thing but it's also good to know that we can do things to keep stress at a minimum.
The best thing we can do to solve our family crisis or coping with stress is to simply keep loving. Without that, there's nothing, And also, don't be afraid to turn to God. He's there because He loves you. If you don't have God in your life, how can you manage to love? Families are forever and they need to be cherished not forgotten.
