Oh, dearie me. This is pathetic. Six whole months??? Sorry, you all. Let's see- what was the next one we were to look out? Peace. Unfortunately I have nothing amazingly profound to say about peace. So... what about... hmm.... ah, I know.
Years after the death of President Calvin Coolidge, this story came to light. In the early days of his presidency, Coolidge awoke one morning in his hotel room to find a cat burglar going through his pockets. Coolidge spoke up, asking the burglar not to take his watch chain because it contained an engraved charm he wanted to keep. Coolidge then engaged the thief in quiet conversation and discovered he was a college student who had no money to pay his hotel bill or buy a ticket back to campus. Coolidge counted $32 out of his wallet -- which he had also persuaded the dazed young man to give back! -- declared it to be a loan, and advised the young man to leave the way he had come so as to avoid the Secret Service! (Yes, the loan was paid back.)
This story illustrates... let me hear it... MERCY! Regardless of whether this story is TRUE or not, it's a great example of mercy and it illustrates God's mercy to us very nicely. That I will let you reflect on. Again, sorry it took so long to post. :) If you're still keeping tabs on this blog- leave a comment, perhaps? :D
