  Family stories are amazing to me.You hear of family members long ago and by hearing about their stories, you can find timeless wisdom that can apply to your own life.

  I'll never forget the story my mom told me about Grandma.Grandma cooked for a crew of 24 farmhands so most of her days were taken up cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a bunch of(一群)loud complaining men coming in from hunting or farming.She took care of five children as well so her house was a busy little place, but where you would find Grandma the most would be in front of her stove, stirring(搅拌)a pot of something.

  The kids would run in and she'd give them a hug and then she'd go back to stirring.The men would come in and clean up all the biscuits and bacon and then she'd start on the next meal, once again standing and stirring at the stove.They'd tell her how wonderful her food was and then pour out their troubles to her as she listened and stirred.

  One time Ruth watched as the farmhands ate quickly and went back out to work, hearing all of them grumbling about their lives.Then one by one the children came in to tell Grandma their own worries.She would smile, give them some kind of advice, and keep stirring.Ruth watched sitting at the table and when everyone left she said,“Mother.How can you just sit there and stir?Everyone tells you how bad their life is and you just smile and stir?Why don't you just tell them that you've had enough and you can't take anymore?Do something…Stop stirring!”Grandma looked up at Ruth and smiled…and kept stirring.

  “Ruth, don't you know that the stirring is very important?You see, when I'm stirring I'm putting all my thoughts and dreams into that pot.As everyone comes in and tells me about their life I put the love and positive thoughts into my pot and stir.Then when they eat it they have been given a pot full o hope.If we have any kind of problems I envision(想象)a solution and put it in my pot and stir.My stirring is what keeps me focused on what is good in the world.So instead of worrying about all that is around me I keep stirring knowing that all is well.”
