This thought runs like a bright golden thread through the dark tapestry of our sorrow. We learn so much from our children-in patience, in humility, in gratitude for other blessings we had accepted before as a matter of course; so much in tolerance; so much in faith-believing and trusting where we cannot see; so much in compassion for our fellow man; and yes, even so much in wisdom about the eternal values in life.
