" The great Puritan Matthew Henry was once robbed of his wallet. After pondering the incident, he wrote the following words in his diary:   I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse 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, and not I who robbed.   "
