If ^ou lose home or business,
neither a paralyzing dispair nor

health fails, neither burying
yourself in a grave of hopeless
sorrow nor waving a sword of
disbelief and anger in the face
of God will help you. Either
course of action is foolish, vain,

thankftil for a good home. An
other for his new bicycle. But
the answer that touched the
teacher most was this one from
Tt one-legged boy W the comer
who wrote simply; “i am thank

One good leg was all he had
saved out of an accident and it
was more precious to him than
the two legs had been. His
