Johnny Carson, host of TV’s famous Tonight Show, got a big laugh when he read this item from the lost-and-found column of a small town newspaper: ‘Lost dog, brown fur, some missing due to mange, blind in one eye, deaf, lame leg due to recent traffic accident, slightly arthritic. Goes by the name of Lucky.’
Well, luck, if there is such a thing, sometimes comes in strange forms. Like Edwin Robinson who became blind and deaf after an accident. Nine years later he was struck by lightning and within hours his vision and hearing were restored. Stephen Leacock said, ‘I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.’
But for me, it’s not about luck, it’s about what the Bible means when it says, ‘We know that in all things God works together for good to those who love Him.’
