Topic: Blessings Out Of Disaster

Years ago a tornado struck the prairies of Minnesota, killing many, injuring hundreds and almost demolishing the town of Rochester. An elderly doctor and his two sons worked for days aiding the stricken, bandaging wounds, and setting broken limbs. Their heroic work did not go unnoticed. Financial backing was offered for a large hospital, provided the doctor and his sons took charge. They agreed. Founded in 1889, their clinic soon attracted wide attention. For years, from fifteen to twenty operations were performed daily. People came from all walks of life to the 'Mayo Brothers' Clinic. When the tornado struck, people reacted with, "God has forgotten!" Yet blessing came out of disaster, and today this prairie city is known around the world. This disastrous tornado resulted in a blessing to uncounted millions. What seemed to be a time of anguish and travail resulted in unimaginable blessings and victory. Each of us must strive to find a way to turn our own anguish and travail into blessings and victory.

If these words have been a blessing to you please forward them to a friend.
