| Robbed |
| When I was a teenager, I had my wallet stolen. Several of us young people went to the ocean to swim one summer afternoon. Never thinking, we left our clothes, with our wallets in the pockets, on the seat of the van we were driving. We later returned to find that someone had thrown a rock through the front passenger window, unlocked the vehicle, and made off with our valuables. |
| A few days later, I received the following card in the mail from one of my cousins: |
| If I have been robbed, let me be thankful — |
| • 1st, because I was never robbed before. |
| • 2nd, because although they took my wallet, they did not take my life. |
| • 3rd, because although they took my all, it was not much. |
| • 4th, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed. |
| At the bottom of the card was the following verse from the Bible: “Giving thanks always for all things” (Ephesians 5:20). |
