Help turn one of life’s challenges into a personal victory.

In The Ultimate Gift, Red Stevens recalls, "One of the great errors in my life was sheltering many people from life’s problems. If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones." We each have problems of all sizes in our lives, but it’s the spirit in which we greet them that truly determines their magnitude. Use this day to look for a way in which you can help someone discover this important insight - and also share with them the other inspiring gifts you have received from The Ultimate Gift.

There are no problems that can’t benefit from someone’s wisdom.

We have so much to learn from those around us, especially those who have lived enough to understand how to handle difficult situations. Wisdom has the ability to turn obstacles into opportunities from which we learn and grow. Ask an older member of your family to share their "story" using the Words of Wisdom card provided by Once Upon A Family®. What have they learned from the obstacles and struggles in their life? How have those lessons changed what they do or how they think about things? You will find that the person you ask is happy to respond and honored to share their wisdom with you. Your gift is in the asking.
