A Foxhole Experience - February 18

 

Keeping our "heads together" in stressful times is something like a foxhole experience.  Those who have endured the horrors of trench warfare often remain friends for life, even though their ordeal may have lasted only a few weeks or months.  Why?  Because shared experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, creates the common ground in which deep-rooted relationships germinate and grow.  The greater the intensity of the experience, the greater the potential for bonds of love and intimacy that can bind us to one another in a beautiful relationship called a close-knit family.
