It was large totally consuming fire and when it had finished there was nothing left. The manufacturing facilities of Thomas Edison lay in ruins.
The next morning walking through the charred embers the 67 year old inventor did not sag and even think of quitting.
He simply said with his usual resolve, “Well, now we have been blessed. All of our mistakes have been burned up. Now we can start anew.
What is success? Well, first we have succeeded by simply being here. By being born with life, this gift of God and that is a pretty good beginning.
And having said that we have yet another success…for we have all endured failures and turned some of them into successes…or learned from them when there never was a success in sight.
And along the way, hopefully, each of us soon learned of our God and our Savior and how we are never alone whether we are shouting hallelujahs or weeping .
And slowly if we allow it…we learn to number success in how many good deeds we do rather than how many golden coins we collect…and by how many unforgivable hurts we forgive…and how many we do not judge even if some of them are busy judging us… and thankful for a spigot out of which flows clear clean water in a world where for so many this would be a miracle…because for them it has never happened.
And all the happenings and the variety of it all…and our great God with us to the very end and beyond.
