Click below for a letter to the Providence community from Mr. Billman:
An excerpt:
"So we may say to ourselves what Frodo, burdened with the task of destroying the Ring of Power, said to Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings: 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.' It’s a perfectly natural and honest thing to say. In the past month, I’d guess that most of us have said, at one point or another, 'I wish none of this had happened.'
Gandalf’s reply is one of beautiful reality: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.'"
The saying that "when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade" basically sums this up. We choose what we do in response to whatever comes our way.
