         All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)  | 
    
           
        A miller and his family lost all their worldly possessions when a great
        flood washed away their home and mill. Discouraged and brokenhearted,
        the miller surveyed the devastation. While doing so, he noticed
        something glittering in the sun on a nearby bank which had been
        washed-out by the flood. Upon closer examination, he discovered it was
        gold. The very floods that had stripped him of his home and business had
        served to bring him a greater blessing than he had had before. Just as the flood stripped the miller and his family of their earthly possessions enabling them to discover a greater treasure, God sometimes allows “calamity” to strip us of our earthly treasures so that He might bestow a blessing upon us far greater than our losses.
