The Little Boy Who Lost His Football



I was very sad whilst overlooking Himley Lake photographing the birds to see a boy sobbing because his football was lost in the water and his father had no way to retrieve it.




Lost Forever!



Some months later on yahoo news, I read the story of the boy who lost everything he owned in the Japanese Tsunami. He has now got his football back after it was washed up on the beaches in Canada.

These two stories remind me of something very important:  Learn to be content with what you have. In life's disappointing times, let the tears flow but take the lesson.


It's only when you lose something that the true value of your treasure is found out!
 
"A young Japanese boy had a welcome surprise recently when he was reunited with a football that was lost in the disaster. Misaki Murakami wrote his name and school on it - enough for him to be located when a walker found it on a beach on Middleton Island, Canada."
"Pleased: Misaki Murakami, 16, has recovered one of the many possessions he lost in the tsunami after his football was found in Alaska 
The Football is the only thing he got back after losing everything!

Moral: It's what you do with what you've got that counts.
