In honoring the memory of their son who was killed in World War II, the parents gave a sizeable check to their church. When the presentation was made, another mother whispered to her husband, “Let’s give the same amount for our boy!”
“What are you talking about?” asked the husband. “Our boy didn’t lose his life!”
“Ah,” said the wife, “that’s just the point! Let’s give it as an expression of our gratitude to God for sparing his life!”
George Herbert prayed, “Our Father, Thou hast given us so much. Do, please, give us one more thing — a grateful heart!”
