At that time, a time when the United States during the Great Depression, a carpenter to support children 6 months of life is very tight, and glasses that looked that morning he spent 20 U.S. dollars purchased.
For the carpenter to re-buy a pair of glasses and very sad: “This is unfair.” On my way home, he very frustrated and kept muttering.

Six months after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the president of the Chinese orphanage - an American missionary, returned to the United States leave. And called on the carpenter’s Chicago area that the small church.
The beginning of his speech, missionaries, aid warmly thank those people who have been orphaned.

As we all know, the Japanese against the orphanage, the destruction of all fashion jewelry, including my glasses, I was almost desperate. Even if I could afford at that time would not be able to re-equipped with a pair of glasses. As the eyes see clearly, I started a headache every day, my colleagues and I pray every day, a pair of glasses to have occurred. Then, on your box arrived. When I opened the cover of my colleagues, they found a pair of glasses lay on those clothes. “
“My friends, when I looked to wear glasses, I found it like a custom-made for me, like! My world immediately clear, the pain is not the first. I would like to thank you, for you I do everything ! “
People listened, and they looked for the miraculous glasses and joy, but they also would like to, the missionary man certainly made a mistake, we can not send his glasses — ah, when the directory assistance , The glasses do not really do this.
There is only one clear how this is all about. He stood quietly in the back, face the tears flowed.
In all, this is only an ordinary carpenter to know that God is strange how the way to create a miracle.
“It turned out that God is going to take my glasses, gave his view that more people in need.”
Carpenter their palms together and silently prayed, tears wet his hands.
