Second Daughter

"Second Daughter"*

*The birth of our second child, a daughter, came
after a long and difficult labor. But it was definitely
worth it when our beautiful little girl emerged,
perfect in every way.

Later, in my room, my husband looked at her
tenderly, with tears in his eyes. Then as he glanced
up at me, I expected him to utter something truly
poetic. Instead he asked,

"What'd we decide to call her again?"

"Luck"*

*A man who owner a local grocery store was out
delivering orders in his station wagon when he hit
and injured a little, old lady. The lady sued and
was awarded an amount large enough to drive
the man out of business.

After difficult times he managed to accumulate
enough to try again. But a few months after
opening his doors he struck an old gentleman with
his delivery truck. The gentleman sued and collected
big damages, enough to ruin the merchant yet again.

On a peaceful Sunday the grocer was sitting in his
living room when his little boy entered and called out,

"Father, Father, Mother's been run over by a great big bus."

The grocer's eyes filled with tears, and in a voice
trembling with emotion he cried, "Thank the Lord,
my luck's changed at last."
