Bible commentator Matthew Henry was mugged one evening, and his wallet was stolen. Later that night, as he reflected on the incident, Henry wrote in his diary four things for which he was thankful.
1. This is the first time that I have been robbed.
2. He took my wallet, not my life.
3. Though all the money that I had was in that wallet,
it wasn't much.
[These three made me smile a little, but then, most profoundly:]
4. By the grace of God, I am the one who was robbed,
and not the robber.
