Pat Barnes found himself in front of an old woman selling flowers on a crowded street. Her face was all wrinkled but she had beautiful eyes and a gentle smile. As he was paying for some flowers, Pat remarked: "You are very cheerful this morning !" And the old woman replied: "Why ever not ?! Everything is so beautiful !" "It appears that you know how to accept life as it happens," commented Pat. And the woman replied with disarming simplicity: "When Jesus died on Good Friday, it was the most horrible day. But, three days later he was risen. Therefore, when trouble or problems come my way, I keep calm and wait for three days....Then everything turns out all right!"
