It was a Sunday morning. the sun shone brightly andwarmly into the room， as the air， mild andrefreshing， flowed through the open window. Andout under God's blue heaven， where fields andmeadows were covered with GREens and flowers， allthe little birds rejoiced. While joy and contentmentwere everywhere outside， in the house lived sorrowand misery. Even the wife， who otherwise alwayswas in good spirits， sat that morning at thebreakfast table with a downcast expression; finallyshe arose， without having touched a bite of her food， dried her eyes， and walked towardthe door.
It really seemed as if there were a curse hanging over this house. The cost of living washigh， the food supply low; taxes had become heavier and heavier; year after year thehousehold belongings had depreciated more and more， and now at last there was nothing tolook forward to but poverty and misery. For a long time all this had depressed the husband，who always had been a hard-working and law-abiding citizen; now the thought of the futurefilled him with despair; yes， many times he even threatened to end his miserable andhopeless existence. Neither the comforting words of his good-humored wife nor the worldly orspiritual counsel of his friends had helped him; these had only made him more silent andsorrowful. It is easy to understand that his poor wife finally should lose her courage， too.However， there was quite another reason for her sadness， which we soon shall hear.
When the husband saw that his wife also grieved and wanted to leave the room， hestopped her and said， “I won't let you go until you have told me what is wrong with you!”
After a moment of silence， she sighed and said， “Oh， my dear husband， I dreamed lastnight that God was dead， and that all the angels followed Him to His grave!”
“How can you believe or think such foolish stuff!” answered the husband. “You know， ofcourse， that God can never die!”
the good wife's face sparkled with happiness， and as she affectionately squeezed both herhusband's hands， she exclaimed， “Then our dear God is still alive!”
“Why， of course，” said the husband. “How could you ever doubt it!”
then she embraced him， and looked at him with loving eyes， expressing confidence，peace， and happiness， as she said， “But， my dear husband， if God is still alive， why dowe not believe and trust in Him! He has counted every hair on our heads; not a single one islost without His knowledge. He clothes the lilies in the field; He feeds the sparrows and theravens.”
It was as if a veil lifted from his eyes and as if a heavy load fell from his heart when shespoke these words. He smiled for the first time in a long while， and thanked his dear， piouswife for the trick she had played on him， through which she had revived his belief in God andrestored his trust. And in the room the sun shone even more friendly on the happy people'sfaces; a gentle breeze caressed their smiling cheeks， and the birds sang even louder theirheartfelt thanks to God.
