When training children in character think of the saintly, matured character of Matthew Henry, famous Bible scholar of Wales in the 1660's.
His statement after he was mugged and robbed:
"Let me be thankful . . .
first, because I was never robbed before;
second, although they took my money, they did not take my life;
third, because although they took my all, it was not much;
and fourth, because it was I who was robbed , not I who robbed."
