Many years ago, a newsboy, thinly clad and drenched by the soaking rain, stood
shivering in a doorway one cold day in November. First one bare foot and then
the other was lifted for a moment and pressed against his leg to get a little
warmth. Every few minutes his shrill cry could be heard, "Morning paper! Morning
paper!" A man who was well protected by his coat and umbrella stopped to buy the
early edition. Noting the boy's discomfort, he said, "This kind of weather is
pretty hard on you,
isn't it?" Looking up with a smile, the youngster replied, "I don't mind too
much, Mister. The sun will shine again." What a picture of the Christian life!
Chilling winds of adversity and grey skies of a sinful environment can easily
discourage us. But we can always count on better days because we know God is
working in our lives.
