How does one deal with impossible situations?

Kindness, logic and reason, and prayer.

Impossible situations often need impossible solutions. Hopefully, you won't face many impossible situations until you have the life experience necessary to survive them in one piece.

But, eventually they come one by one.

I was sort of grateful that most of my relatives "parents, aunts and uncles" had all passed away by 2008. I remember 2008 as an impossible year.

That year I lost my mother, my wife's father, my aunt, a female cousin. That's a lot of people to lose the same year. I wondered why God had allowed my mother and my wife's father to pass away within a few months of each other. About a year later I realized it had been a blessing not to lose them in different years even though it was very very hard to go through.

In 2006 I lost my oldest best friend from Church. I met him when I was 6 years old in Sunday School in Los Angeles.

In 2011 I lost my best friend from  junior high and High School. He was a veteran of the Viet Nam war so he was buried with military honors in Bakersfield where one of his sisters lives. I remember not being able to speak at all I was so upset about his death that day until after the funeral.

What are the impossible situations?

Death, Divorce, Breakups. Calamities where whole cities or neighborhoods are wiped out by hurricanes, tornadoes, Floods, fires, drought worldwide.

Impossible situations demand impossible things from all of us.

Hopefully, you will have the life experience to survive them when they come in your lives around the world.

By God's Grace
