Have you ever been caught in a raging storm?  Often, it’s those sudden downpours that catch us off guard and leave us miserably soaked.

Anyone who’s raised a family has been surprised by the occasional dark clouds or the sudden outbursts of emotion.  The storm inside the house is often far worse than the rainfall outside the house.

So, Mom, Dad … when the tornado strikes … wait it out.  Look for ways to be a shelter for your family.  A safe harbor in the storm.  You can set a positive tone, even when the winds of adversity blow strong.  You can make the choices now that will lead your family to safety later.

So how about it?  Are you ready to hunker down and survive the storm?
