ROBOT K HARM U THANKFUL How often do we pause to thank God for the warmth of spring sunshine, the beauty of a red. red rose, or the crimson splendor of the twilight sky? How often, when blessed with good fortune, with peace of mind and heart, when surrounded by friends and beloved, do we inwardly murmur a sunpie prayer of thanks? Is it more often than the times we would drive God away with a curse brought on by some minor discomfort or failure? la it more than we would give in to temptation and do the wrong thing, because it is the easier way, or because it offers some momentary pleasure? Let us not lean like a straw in the wind where our relations with Gori are concerned. Let us be constant. Let us not turn to prayer only when we need help and assistance. Let us be wise enough to remember God in all tilings. If we do Uiis, when temptation appears on the scene, we shall reaiuc that God is with us and in this knowledge we find the strength to do that which will ptoasa rather dispkasc. And we shah learn to pray and not to CUIAU.
