A Burglar Came To My House: Healthy Emotional Response

What can we take away from every experience we go through?   How can we learn to be better through any incident or circumstance that comes our way. No matter how hard a situation may seem there is a lesson, a growth, a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel.   We found one after a burglar came to our house yesterday. I looked at myself and asked how can I grow from this and what can I teach my daughter. I believe whatever is coming into my reality is showing me something important and something to learn.  Have you been through something difficult and relaized it was a blessing? Please share!
