Defeat Transformed Into Victory
Sermons on the Gospel Readings
Two men, both seriously ill, shared the same room in a hospital. One of the men was allowed each day to sit up for an hour to clear the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the only window in the room. The other man was forced to lie on his back at all times. The two men would talk for hours each day, discussing their families, the jobs they hoped to return to, their common service in the military, and even vacations they had taken. Each afternoon, the man by the window would describe to his roommate what he saw. The other man lived for those special times each afternoon.
