A
sickly widow had two sons on whom she relied for financial support.
One son sold umbrellas. The first thing the mother did every morning
was to look out to see if the sun was shining or if it looked like
it was going to rain. If it was cloudy, her spirits were good because
there was a chance that it might rain and her son would sell some
umbrellas. But if the sun was shining, she was miserable all day
because no umbrellas would be sold.
The
widows other son sold fans. Every morning that it looked like
rain, she would get depressed because without the suns heat,
no one was likely to buy fans.
No
matter what the weather was, the widow had something to fret about.
While
consoling with a friend one day, the friend remarked, Perk
up. Youve got it made. If the sun is shining, people will
buy fans; if it rains, theyll buy umbrellas. All you have
to do is change your attitude. You cant lose.
When
that simple thought sank in, the widow lived happily ever after.
An
Opportunity To Help Our Community ...
And let us not grow weary while doing
good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore,
as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those
who are of the household of faith.
